If there are words you dislike - don't use them.

If other people use them and it bothers you - there is the "ignore button".

I find self-censorship is the only good censorship.

The "ignore" button cuts YOU off from the conversation. The person using demeaning hateful language is free to proceed on, leaving them, in the end, as the only voices heard.

If someone is a real knock kneed idiot and everyone puts them on ignore - haven't they effectively gone away?
