| Stop reserving words for people who don't value basic human rights |
| for everyone! |

| Also if anybody thinks this is a great idea: Thake a dictionary |
| and lookup the word "context" |

| Free speech is the cornerstone of a liberal society. Banning words |
| is akin to burning books. I'd rather hear words that anger me than |
| know our communication is controlled and filtered. |

| Thinking about it for a while: banning words is like an ad hominem, |
| but instred of attacking the person who made an argument you don't |
| like, you attack the words the argument is made up of, wich makes |
| absolutely no sense to me ... |

| ... that sounds a bit like banning banning steel to prevent people |
| from making weapons (doesn't solve the problem and creates a ton |
| of other problems) |

| Freedom of expression is a sacred right and censorship is a deep |
| violation of that right. Being banned for expressing your ideas is |
| persecution. Too many companies do this. Words are only as powerful |
| as people let them be. |
