I have to admit that I don't understand the the whole whoop dee dooo about certain words. It doesn't bother me that that I could be restricted on the choice of vocabulary I must use use on these forums, I don't typically use strong words when I write. It does get annoying when threads get locked and messages get deleted, because typically it breaks the continuity of the thread.

Single words only have the power that those whom are offended give them. If we gave words only the weight of their strict definition we would in effect disarm the offensive around us.
A donkey is still a donkey after all. We all need something to sit on when we type, and there are many words to describe it. And those words only have the power to offend that the offended give those words.

All that being said, It is Mr. Cotton's right to make the rules how he sees fit. Those of us who use his property should respect his wishes.
