at any rate, abrogating free speech for the sake of an ethnic slur is idiotic. people will find a way to inject malice into their vocabulary without the likes of racial epithets.

if you're going to forcibly trim accepted vocabulary, do it under the auspices of curtailing flaming instead of preventing people from seeing something they might find offensive.

when it's offensive BECAUSE it's inflammatory, remove it.
The best thing you've ever posted. I second this 100%.
