PSA: PLEASE READ
June 2, 2023 at 1:35 pm
Administrator Notice
Recently, there have been a few questions about the use of slurs on the Forums. To be as clear as possible, these are not permitted under ANY circumstances. You may not use them in conversation, you may not post them as unedited quotes, you may not link to or post videos that contain them, etc. This is a zero tolerance policy.
You don’t have to agree with this particular rule (I’m not entirely comfortable with it myself), but as long as it remains in place as is, we expect it to be followed.

Easy. Speaking from experience, even if you're using it purely for impact, the fact that you think it has impact, means you should use another word. So, no grey at all really.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

That's a selective situation and not a universal parameter. (I've been on forum staffs since RDF and I've seen that on nearly every one. Fun to watch if you're not the party or parties who have to enforce a nebulosity.)

Which is why this rule is here enforced in a non-nebulous fashion. I thought the PSA made that clear.

No slurring? Does that mean I have to stop drinking and using drugs recreationally?

I can only do what I can do.
