It's one thing to use a term that is descriptive in nature (as in your example), orr perhaps even as a pejorative. It's an entirely different thing to use a term in direct response to and as a comment on/personal attack against another poster (as in my example).
And are you using it as a perjorative most of the time as viewed in the opinion of some?
