Thank you Rohan. I respect your request certainly though would point out that the use of quotation marks in my response was by way of distancing myself from the expression as well as reflecting back a little bit of the original sentiment and therefore hopefully a little bit of insight into the impact of such language. I have no desire to be hurtful or punishing or to be part of a 'witch hunt' and am very happy to leave this discussion behind. I do wish everyone a happy, peaceful holiday season. Your contributions are very much appreciated.
