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.
