Copying and pasting directly from your OP:

“Is one allowed to use this term ever, anywhere and at any time? I have seen it used...”

We can all read it, so why you would say, “I did not use those phrases” is a little creepy.

The basic problem is that the persons to whom you wrote are not going to play the game. You’ve been here long enough to see many contentious threads about “banning words” and you know that the decision was eventually made to provide an “alert” button by which you can have a post evaluated by a jury of members here.

Like any jury system, it is going to yield inconsistent results. So, sure, sometimes it stands and sometimes it doesn’t, depending on what that jury believed.

The most productive route toward decreasing its incidence, then, would be persuading others, who may be on juries, to agree with you that it should never be used.
