It's not how many it takes for me. It's how many it takes for society. Is one good enough? One hundred? One thousand? I don't know but you have to be careful when you set presidents.
I may not use that word in front of that person out of courtesy for that but does it mean that joe blow in another city can't use that word to someone that doesn't find it offensive? That's the issue.
