Stepping in here because I noticed the complaint yesterday and we are actively discussing the issue on my own forum. First off, I didn't find the terms offensive and thought the complaint was an oversensitivity. Upon discussion with some very rational people though, I have learned that many people DO find it offensive.

At this point, I'm of the opinion that you don't want your code to insult people or tick them off. If your members are fine with it, leave the words as is. But, because somebody has said they were bothered by the posting of those word choices here, I think the polite thing to do would be to change them here. No harm, no foul. Just good manners.

But that's just my thoughts on the matter.
