And apparently, also when you think that ‘They’ is a perfectly serviceable gender-neutral singular pronoun, but are willing to use other pronouns if asked to.

EDIT: Other removable offenses on Blahaj now include questioning mod/admin decisions and quoting the modlog as a reason why you’re leaving.

    I don’t know about that first one, actually. Lots of people are used to objectively wrong or bad things, doesn’t mean those things are somehow right or good.

      We define language by its usage, and there is definitely a significant subset of native English speakers who regard the usage of singular they as wrong.

      I mean, they’re WRONG, but I can only say so from the perspective of a fellow speaker according to my own thoughts and preferences; language doesn’t have an objective arbiter and I acknowledge that it is both widespread and not some inherently absurd notion.
