I don't think people are trying to make you look like a villian. I'm certainly not. It is online chat. People tend to be mouthy and showcase their keyboard warrior skills online. I really think the only people that will be put off by it are the older people, particularly the older women. I have an online poker group and there are 6 or 7 women well into their 70s. That kind of commentary will upset them. Assuming you are not an older person, there really isn't a logical reason for it to be upsetting, as used in your OP.
I think the bad word police are really unnecessary. The reality is that player is just exercising their keyboard muscles.
