I'm not sure it makes sense to take these words out of the context within which they were written. They don't convey the intent of the author. Perhaps it would have been more instructive to have posted the full sentence that contained them.

I know this is difficult territory, but I think there is sometimes a need to refer to specific words by quoting them when discussing issues regarding their usage in certain arenas.
Perhaps there has been some flexibility exercised in allowing the repeated use of the phrase in question up until this point.
I appreciate the difficulties in striking a balance between expression and safety.
