Here is where there is usually a misunderstanding. Things happen on this forum every day. Most days it's the usual spamming of the forum or people trying to get free advertising. On other days, big issues come up like the ones that brought us to this discussion. The moderators and admins here all talk about these issues and come to a decision. We don't just one of us jump the gun and make a change that will affect the whole member base here without first consulting the group. With issues that deal with censorship, we thouroughly discuss before adding words to the list. We do a cost vs. benefit analysis and you have to ask yourself: Is the word offensive? Is it only used in an offensive way? If not, can you use another word or words to still make it clear what your point is? How many would be offended vs. how many won't be? What reasons are there for someone to be offended that they can't say a word?
There are many more things we discuss when issues come up like this. The only thing that we ask is to trust the way we all run the forum. There is a lot more thought in the process than it may appear.
