I gave the poster advice, I didn’t suggest censorship. Many posts with that particular word have been removed, not by me but by the owner appointed moderators. Like it or not, F.R. has rules governing language.
Had the usage of that word, used in context offended me, (It did not), I would personally hit the abuse button and let the mod make a decision, I don’t have the power to “censor” anyone but the mod does.
I have no intention of engaging in a “flame war” with you, I respect your opinions, I don’t neccessarily agree with all of them.
Fair enough. And I saw there have been plenty of comments from others on the subject.
But we are being taken advantage of by the enemy because we choose to self-censor too much. Where’s the line? I dunno. Probably somewhere before somebody calls somebody else “that word” as a means of ad-hominum attack, but after quoting the Hip-Hop people who use “that word” all the time, as a means of illustrating what we’re up against in the culture wars.
I don’t think the original remark by MaxMax was over the line because it was part of a reasonable explanation for the behavior of DoJ, and it’s apparent the Mods don’t either.
(I didn’t want a flame-war either. This is Saturday morning, and the last several times I got burned by the Mods were Saturdays, so I was making a sideways comment about the fact there is a Mod who works Saturdays who is a bit of a jerk who doesn’t like Cyber Liberty.)
