No, because you are still trying to impose your own values on others.
There is no attempt to impose anything. "You should do that" does not
mean "You must do that or I will punish you". Do you find "You should
recycle" offensive? How about "You should not injure others?"
... not to mention he is the only one, here, who *consistently insists* to have
others to change *their* behavior.
The original comment boils down to a semantic: "IMHO it's wrong to..." (reread the
original post, please), while the other side semantic content is: "You *must not* use the word
'should', otherwise..." (implying failure to comply means offender is ready to eat babies...
or something worse).
Who's the "Taliban"?
Almost invariably whoever makes such a fuss about words is really after
something else (as all lawyers know very well).
