It's a win win situation. People who get angry with my opinion could relieve their stress by saying "you are an ahole" and it couldn't offend me thus I would not be stressed either (win win). Others would laugh finding it entertaining on one hand and perhaps true on the other. All without actually being profane, ahole is only profane in the persons mind when they interpret it that way. It is an example of removing the power of a word that shouldn't have any power.
