Eugene regards the demand for linguistic abstinence in particular cases "as a pretty substantial imposition," I regard it as simply a civil response to a personal request. In my view Eugene has too low a threshold for what counts as "a pretty substantial imposition." I suppose he would say my threshold for impositions is too high.
I think the "imposition" he refers to is the burden of having to constantly worry about whether whatever one is about to say or do has been banned by the faceless arbiters of Political Correctness (although, of course, Everybody Knows that there is no such thing as PC); or whether one intends to do it in a city or state which they have proscribed. ("No Chicago!" "Boycott unratified [sic] states!")
