Very good points Patrick.
Using words like a "discrimination" that are subject to different
interpretations where some of them wake up memories on struggle for elementary
human rights was not wise, specially that particular word is not used in
description of such sensitive matter.
My intention was to point out that even the most benevolent and helpful
members of our community can make mistake and be inconsiderate just because
they assume that their knowledge of social conventions is complete. Particular
example of, for our taste excessive use of exclamation mark, and rude comment
is what I've seen recently. All that was necessary to avoid rude tone was to
consider own knowledge as insufficient and create comment that will tell that
majority of the group likes lesser of them, not that is mandatory not to use
them.
As usually, we can attempt to act that way, but what comes out is not always
what we want.

We must all be intelligent members of a society.
