		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.

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.
