Slippery slope. I’m not a fan of the word and I don’t use it, but banning people is censoring free speech. That’s what I appreciate about these boards, it’s the last bastion of free speech. On the other hand, allowing it gives ammo to the other side, ‘those people are bigots’. Tough call, I get both sides of the argument, but I tend to side with free speech
The only reason they even have a platform is because people are leaving other sites doing just that, I find some good info here but not exclusively. Besides, there’s a weird infiltration of info that seems to be muddying the waters...and now they’re trying to pull the same tactics as big tech? Please, tell me how this isn’t a concerted effort to divide us? What blows my mind is how can anyone spend any amount of time seeing evidence of children being horrifically abused and still choose to undermine and oppose? Do they not have or care about kids? Do they not have a heart?
Well it appears this very specific and targeted post is now tearing this forum apart so I guess congrats to the "owners" on that, things often stop surviving long term when you stir the pot this hard and so unapologetically.
Read the room, buddy. Admit you messed up, have a laugh with us about it, and let’s move on.
We’re glad to have you here and appreciate your efforts, but your approach in this case is just a bit against the culture. We are not racists, but we support free speech. You probably have cause to ban the racists for reasons other than their speech. We don’t want racist trolls here, either, but we strongly support free speech. Set your ego aside and think it through. We don’t gain anything infighting here, friend.
Whoa, only one banned word in the entire English language? Cmon, man, you gotta pump up those numbers!! A true tyrant needs living space.
By the way, what is the appropriate way to quote someone else who has used the forbidden word - say, our glorious new POTATUS Bidet - does this forum demand a certain style of asterisks?
And is the naughty word only banned in text form? Can you post video or audio with the word? Referring back to the Congressional testimony of Biden using the word ; Or are those also banned from being seen?

We? Who is we? And what gives them the right to unilaterally decide what words are allowed?
I’d say the owners can make whatever rules they want. The fact that society has a chosen class is a different thing altogether.

The unelected all-powerful mods
There is an intense amount of faggotry but maybe know your community and be less of a cunt to people talking in good faith?
I get what you're saying; I agree with you.
However, it's black people they are using to incite their race war. And THAT is why some terms have become so emotionally charged.
I don't think it's acceptable to use racist terms that apply to whites, either; and I often call people out on it.
A person can be trash without being "white trash."
And I'm kind of tired of people thinking that Southerners, rednecks, and hillbillies are okay to mock.
