While I'd be in agreement that people shouldn't get fired up over the use of typed words on an Internet board, I'd also say that, conversely, people shouldn't go over-the-top in using inflammatory or offensive words based on that belief. It just comes off as being offensive for the sake of being offensive with the bizarre justification that you're cool with what you said and if anyone isn't, that's their problem. It's the sort of mentality that really doesn't work that well in real life, but for some reason, people think that in the relative anonymous world of the Internet, it should be law.
Like, when I read this thread, I got a flashback to when I was a little kid and was showing off the new bad words I heard. Then...my mom washed my mouth out with soap and banished me to my room. Sucked to be me that day.
