If the community wants me to apologize for the usage of this outrageous word, please let me know so that I send in my apology. 

I think it would be outrageous to seek such an apology, as your remarks were made in good faith and did not intend any harm.

It might be helpful to elaborate somewhat on the negative consequences that you foresee – I’ll admit that the worst consequence that I've envisioned is that those protocols which intentionally preclude attribution will end up with a sentence in their HR assessment to the effect that anonymity provided by the protocol also means that parties who are harmed (via communications taking place over it) should be aware that it may be challenging to seek legal recourse against the perpetrator. 

This isn’t exactly surprising, and reflects many of the Internet protocols that we use today. 

Thanks,
