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.
Makes sense, thank you!
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
