This is Saturday morning: If you can goad the miscreant into arguing with you about his/her use of the censored word, the Mod will be more than happy to suspend the posting privileges of the poster for a week (maybe forever if you do a good enough job) in addition to getting the offending word removed. A twofer!

We can’t have people posting censored words all willy-nilly, can we?

I gave the poster advice, I didn’t suggest censorship. Many posts with that particular word have been removed, not by me but by the owner appointed moderators. Like it or not, F.R. has rules governing language.

Had the usage of that word, used in context offended me, (It did not), I would personally hit the abuse button and let the mod make a decision, I don’t have the power to “censor” anyone but the mod does.

I have no intention of engaging in a “flame war” with you, I respect your opinions, I don’t neccessarily agree with all of them.
