Soooo...if someone asks what the letters of the rap group NWA mean, it is a violation to inform them. An absurd example ,for sure, but to me it illustrates the absurdity of assuming that grown-ups cannot hear ugly words.
That said, if the forum rules said all posts had to be written in third- person, then "dems da rules" and I could find another forum. So I have no problem with forum rules.
But what would you expect from atheists.
Now, you get to decide if I just violated the rules by using the word atheist in an insulting way. Can "atheist" be a slur? I think the personal experience of most who had a repressive religious upbringing know that to be called an atheist would be a slur.
