I'm beginning to think that the problem was started by complaints from one or more offense thieves. (That's a person who takes offense when none was offered.) This was followed up by heavy-handed moderation by one or more moderators who not only didn't have the time to do the job correctly, but were too eager to reject posts that didn't meet their unreasonable standards. And, I can remember posts from other members on this list that used far more offensive language against him than he ever used, and almost nobody objected.
People, if you'd take offense if somebody on this list called you something, or used certain terms to refer to you, don't use them yourself, because if you do, you have no valid grounds for complaint if you find them coming back. I'm not naming names, I'm not pointing fingers, I'm just reminding all of you of one of the easiest forms of the Golden Rule to follow: "Don't call anybody anything that you'd find offensive if they used it to refer to you."
