I do have a question about the thread title rule though. What exactly constitutes as slurs? Does it include insulting language? I'm asking because Neo actually made this suggestion regarding thread titles a while back ago and got horribly chewed out for it. Was his suggestion different from the rule change?

Neo was objecting to vulgarities, ie, vulgar language in general. Slurs tend to target groups of people. Thus:
Vulgarity: ‘I Have A Lot Of Shit To Deal With Today’
Slur: ‘All Christians Are Stupid’

Edit: Just to be clear, the slur above is an example, not something I agree with.
