Do you realize that your reasoning can be extended ad nauseam to everything, all the time?

I really wouldn't defend intellectual honesty with a slippery-slope argument.

I don't think it was intended as a slippery-slope argument, but rather as a demonstration that the proposed method was inherently indiscriminate.

In other words, it amounts to "stop doing things I don't like", and doesn't take into account the reasonableness (or lack thereof) of the person taking offense.
