More confusion - what words "must not be used" and why? we're all 
"Grownups" according to the group name... and the idea of "words that 
must not be used" flies against common sense, there's always a context 
that justifies it... take n*****, for example... it was used by several 
people in the discussion of comparing it to "mudblood" and, as i 
remember it, i was alone in *'ing it out. I think it is particularly 
egregious that a post that actually _was_ well-thought-out and useful 
was deleted for no better reason than this... if the rules were 
designed to prevent people from just randomly flaming each other, 
surely exceptions can be made for when that's NOT the case. I think 
this sounds a bit like a case of a list elf that's not very good at 
understanding the rules beyond the letter. incidentally i _read_ the 
rules and did not find a list of "inappropriate words" let alone "words 
that MUST not be used" can someone provide me a copy of the 
double-secret rules used by the moderators/elves/etc?
