They're just words and only you can let them effect or hurt you. Just ignore anything you deem offensive.
Seriously--and this is the internet, for fuck's sake.  In real life I wouldn't even scold people for hurting my delicate sensibilities, much less in the 4th world country that is the interwebz.

OP, I'm of the opinion that profanity and other potentially offensive words are generally tolerated by the mods so long as it doesn't descend into blatant trolling.  I've seen other forums where speech is severely moderated, and it just makes the vibe feel like a kindergarten with a very strict teacher.  If you want free speech (and a lot of us do), you have to put up with people saying things you don't like.  It's that simple.
