As things are settling around the original argument (the part between Jim and Tony), I'd like to address this issue.
I don't like censorship, nor changing the wording of people.
OTOH, it is good to be reminded that TOCH has a diverse community and not everyone enjoys reading this sort of language.
In this particular censorship case I thought the change was "funny" enough, and laced with some irony, perhaps a faulty approach and my lack of a good sense of humor...
But the bottom line is that I can't stop people from disagreeing with my actions. Unfortunately, my pride is such that I won't kiss a**e to keep people on TOCH!
So John, if you feel that the "atmosphere of censorship" is so pressing that you can't stay, I'd be sorry to see you go, but I wouldn't be stopping you nor anyone else for that matter.
