I personally find this more offensive than being sworn at. At work / school / college you get sworn at in some form or another on a regular basis. Sometimes its offensive sometimes its not.
When do you ever get spat on IRL. If you do its classed as assult and can lead to a criminal charge. In football / rugby you spit on someone you get banned for a minimum 3 weeks. Where as they can swear at an offical in the heat of battle. I personaly belive this emote should be removed from the game. I cant think of a replacement for it atm but im sure there are other options than to have this obscene gesture in place.

This is not the first time I have seen a thread on this topic, although I must say it has been a while :-)

There is not really much I have to say on this topic, but I thought that I would suggest you to spend a little time and search for some addons that may help you filter out unwanted emotes. I know that someone in the past made an addon to filter out this very emote, so if you cannot find any recent addons that can do this, then perhaps you can try to see if this old one still works: http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/spitfilter-reborn.aspx
