Eye of the beholder, I suppose.
Since you chose to use the reference, and are defending your use of the 
term, I suppose you did not find it offensive. However, I did.

Since you did not reference a specific message or how it was in conflict 
with the rules, it was not possible to take action on that message.

The nature of the complaint was that the message was in conflict with the 
rules. I investigated, and found that I agreed.
The basis of the decision was the content of the message.
This list is open for your arguments and rebuttal; the chair's address is 
open for an appeal.

So far you have claimed that the term you used was a factual description, 
and that the rules are not legitimate.
Is that the total extent of your argument?

Are you appealing?
