This "Old Fart" isn't in charge of a thing but wonders why some have to resort to name calling. Free Speech! Give me a break. You have every right to say what you please and TFL, a private entity, has every right to ask that we all comport ourselves with some respect for others. Many, many have indicated their special dislike for the term "shotty", which only encourages some to bask in its useage.
Has anyone read TFL's 4th Rule of Participation:

4. Mangling of the English language whether through "text speak," ignorance, age, sloth or intent diminishes and embarrasses each of us, and is disrespectful to the reading membership. Posts which are indecipherable due to inability to translate thoughts into coherent written statements will be deleted without explanation. Recidivists will be removed.
