Today we had the admins nuke a comment for calling someone a 'f@9'. Yes. Not targeted at a user, but at a verified retard on Twitter.
So just in case you wonder why we have the totalitarian wordfilter targeting words like 'nigger', 'tranny', 'faggot' and 'retard' - and now, apparently 'fag' and its permutations... this is the reason. We're dealing with absolute idiots.
They already do it privately, but it'll be widespread and mainstream acceptable by this time next year.
