This is true, but there are some words that many people find offensive and/or
don't want their kids to see.
But I don't think the issue here is about naughty words.
I think the issue here is with the Orwellian mode of enforcement. I'd prefer to
see a black and white list of offensive words which aren't acceptable on Lugnet.
That way people can easily avoid these ugly situations.
How many requests for cancellation are the admins sending? How many are heeded?
What kinds of things are they for? How many could be eliminated by the placement
of some more explicit rules?
