I thought your god was keeping you safe
RE: I thought your god was keeping you safe
Seriously.  I'm unaware of a rule blanket-banning the use of certain words.  If it's going to be an issue, maybe we should create such a rule.

I believe that word, by itself, qualifies as hate speech regardless of anyone’s subjective intentions. And, I think it’s fair to say that hate speech is a violation of the prime directive.

Suppose I were to post, 'Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn contains more than 200 uses of the n-word', but substituted the actual word for the euphemism.  Would you consider that a violation?  Or suppose I did the same with the sentence 'No one deserves to be called "n-word" '.

^This.  It isn't that words are used, it's how they are used.

But I'll be a good lad and play along.

So it did.  I blame myself for letting Drich bait me into using the word.  Mea maxima culpa.

Alright, fair point on both of the examples above, however, neither are comparable to what was going on in this thread.

Thank you, and I don't disagree.  As I said, it's all on me.
