Instantly all kinds of connotations can be applied to pretty much any word, as long as someone is willing to completely ignore the context and the intent of the message. Which, I'm sorry to say, I think happened here. Of course we all have "trigger words" that we associate with our little linguistic traumas, but there is a line after the crossing of which you simply attack the wrong people for things they didn't even say. I know, because I've done that occasionally as well and it took someone external to tell and make me realize what was happening. So in this spirit I'm trying to tell you: this is what's happening.
Regarding the actual subject of normalcy I'm finding it difficult to add anything else without repeating myself. From personal experience, there is always "good normal" and "bad normal", as there is "good not normal" and "bad not normal", but even more often it just means "different from the other 80%". In this case, I chose the word normal because it instantly conveys the fact that most hackers use the web in different ways from most of the other people. That's all. It did its job.
It's unfortunate that this triggered something in you, but I encourage you to take a step back and recognize that you saw some things in my message that were simply not there.
