"Mommy, she used the J-word!"
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, June 27 2013 @ 09:43 AM EDT
The same could be said of most speech considered offensive. Why does it really
bother anyone. Yet this site censors far more based upon this sort of thing.
This would offend many people I work with on a daily basis, who take their
religion quite seriously.

I am not arguing for self-censoring because I grew up on an internet that didn't
censor such things, at least in usenet technical forums where I spend a lot of
time, and I would prefer a web site that didn't censor so heaviy. The issue for
me is how the proprietor of this web site sees nothing wrong with using speech
considered generally offensive if it is personal favorite language degrading an
opponent, but otherwise censors at the drop of a hat. But it has always been a
private soapbox, where useful research or other info appears occasionally, but
not for general objective participation.
