I understand that view but think it is very self-centered. That is the same as if I were to say that I think the term "commie" is adorable (you indicated you thought that was a bad term) and that because I thought it was adorable, it was fine to use all the time. While free speech exists, so does the concept of hate speech. We as a society do not use certain terms like n**ger because we know that it is offensive to many and offensive words like that are inappropriate.
