I think there is a big difference between using unpersoned and mong.

I agree but find this "PC gone mad", "Cant say anything anymore incase someone gets offended" talk bogus. I wouldn't say "unpersonned", I don't think anyone is truly upset by unmanned but if somebody chooses to say that for whatever reason, I have no problem with that.
There is someone on my facebook feed from Canada who says "Womyn" instead of "Women" because he's a crazy feminist. I laugh every time I see it but it does not bother me that he does that.
