For what it's worth: that whole incident with the picture sent me off on one of my "I hate the internet" benders where I want to stab people for not being nice to each other. It's not even that the word is offensive (although it's still one of the only words I won't say), and it sure as hell isn't "censorship." It's just when somebody makes a polite request not to say something, why not either just acknowledge it out of basic, common courtesy; or ignore it? I just wanted to publicly say I thought Tom handled it perfectly, and I wish he weren't getting so much flak for doing the right thing. People keep talking about what they can and can't say, but nobody's talking about what you should or shouldn't say, just out of respect. What's wrong with waiting until somebody proves himself to be an asshole before you start treating him like an asshole? Is everybody afraid the boards are going to lose their edge or something?[/quote][/quote]
