Like I said, everyone fits into some group or another. What if one of the devs was a homosexual? I have no ill will towards anyone homosexual, but I also use the terms "that's gay" or "you're a fag." Does that make me prejudiced? Fuck no. However, I don't see ANYONE getting up in arms about that.
What LFG posted was an attempt to be hip with the times about race relations. Its sad. The term in question, which I might add, I haven't used, is just a term. Edit one term, you better edit them all, because no one deserves a special rule set. Go ahead and disagree, but its a pathetic attempt at political correctness. Especially here.

Please shut the fuck up. Seriously.
We've had this discussion over hundreds of pages before you ever came along.
I'm not banning words like fag and gay. They have an entirely different meaning and context in Western civilization, plus alternate meanings besides the ones that you might ascribe to them. In addition, the vast majority of homosexual people are not bothered by negative gay references to the extent that black people are offended by the N word.
The situations are completely diferent, and that's the way it is. Nobody will ever use the N word on this site again. No other changes will be made unless people continue being dickheads and force me to make them.
Niber, I need to work now, please watch the site.
