I hope I'm not that ``anyone'' ;-)

Anyway, if something you read here sounds offensive, try to assume
it's an unfortunate wording and ignore it.  If it is so offensive that
you cannot ignore it, my suggestion is to explain why you were
offended (either in private email or publicly, as you see fit), so
that the person who did that could refrain from such mistakes in the
future.

It is never a good idea to assume that people who write here have any
hostile intent.
