Also, as far as removing every offensive word, you know that's not where I was going. Using the term "f*ggot" to describe a movie is offensive. I know a couple people on this board who would be and most likely are offended by that. Myself included. "F*ck" and "sh*t" are not the same as "f*ggot*.
People have been throwing off color remarks around a lot recently. Ever since Sansa got banned the general PC atmosphere of the forum has gotten MUCH more laid back. I highly doubt I would have gotten away scot-free with calling Roxy a "flat-chested beaner" only a few months ago. Do I appreciate JWB using that word in that way? Not particularly. But I know he's not a homophobe, so I chalk it up to comedic preference and move on.
