Perhaps we are being too sensitive about a word which may have been included as a synonym for "mob" or large group or gathering. I suspect it was meant innocuously.
Theres that other word that the print media have been using lately alot "innocuously"
And clearly Nav thinks horde is perjorative. Regardless of the reasons.
