Now you're obviously an extremely compassionate, caring, sensitive guy who's intelligent enough to appreciate the intent here. To jump down the throat of everyone who ever uses a word in a way you don't particularly care for must get really tiring after a while. So let's play the game your way: your hypersensitive response was nothing more than an attempt to bully him, and you should apologize immediately.
