I just like that pronoun.... and if Harumaki felt offended of that (i don't think he may feel so), i would avoid using it with him.
Plus, I prefer using 貴方 (written in kanji) because i see it nicer that way... And believe me the japanese themselves also write it that way and they did that multiple times when e-mailing me, therefore, i would never think of asking ya to correct that
I don't think people get as offended on the internet (because it's the internet), and they're also more direct. Also, you may be interested in knowing that あなた is also a way that a wife might affectionately call for her husband instead of using his name. It's obvious no one here is married to you, but just so you know
