I'm not telling you how things ought to be (though I have my opinions there, too). I'm telling you how they are. You should avoid using the word "lynch" the way you are. It's a poor rhetorical strategy that will get you into long skinny threads like this more often than you want to be. But, you do you!
Point taken. I'm in Canada which -- while it has its own embarrassing historical issues -- doesn't have the same recent history of literal lynchings which the American South has. So I can imagine that there might be more sensitivity to that term on your side of the border.
