Questioning intent is fine. Attributing intent on your own is arrogant.

Ok great. Next question. Let's say you are at a tournament (my tournament). I'm responsible for random people coming in and playing and having a good time, and I can't do that if you say certain things. It's not a very long list. And if you say those things, now what?

If you say those things and it’s a rule not to say them then you apply the rules. You don’t tell them they’re homophobic or force your ideology

Well there's no problem if you're down to abide by the rules of the space. All I was saying in the original tweet was that the reason behind the rule is that saying certain kinds of things makes some people feel unsafe (and I happen to care about those people)

You went on to tell him how bad using the word in general is based on your own personal biases. This is an ideological statement rather than just abiding rules for the sake of everyone.

It's bad if you don't want anyone to question your intent (which is important to me for whatever reason). If you don't mind people questioning your intent, then it's not bad. Separately, if you're in a melee space, I will say it's bad for the rules reason. That's all.

Ok then it’s not bad. Cuz no one should care unless it’s a professional scenario.

Well now I feel you're being entitled because you're telling me what I can and can't care about. What's that about?
