yeah.  I reported it a couple of days ago.

The word actually reffers to burning homosexuals at the stake.  As in DEATH to homosexuals.  It has no place here and I know it would have been taken down more quickly if it were an N-bomb.

I find that to be quite a stretch.  I also find it interesting that you choose to highlight the item you think would most influence a decision or change in the favor you prefer without anything more than a passing comment to what you believe it to mean.  The pertinent parts were highlighted by me.  Since you've not chosen to back up your claim of what got your dander up, you've left it to me to choose anything relating to your specious claim.

Etymology

The origins of the word in this sense are rather obscure.

It is often claimed that the derivation is associated directly with ---Bad words, bad words, whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when saint censors you?--- meaning "bundle of sticks for burning", since homosexuals were supposedly burnt at the stake in medieval England. Alternatively, the Bible is claimed to refer to homosexuals stoking the fires of hell. This, however, is an urban myth. There is no such passage in the Bible, and there has never been a tradition in England of burning homosexuals at the stake. Admittedly the practice was not unknown elsewhere in Christian Europe, and burning was used in Britain for heretics and witches, but this ended centuries before the word ---Bad words, bad words, whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when saint censors you?--- became associated with gay people.

If you're going to claim specious reasoning for something offending you, at least try to back up your claim rather than implying someone is being duplicitous in their failure to moderate it based on what you "feel" would happen had another word been used.

Lastly, the word was auto-censored.  Having to SEEK OUT that which offended you is not the fault of any mod or admin.  You actively looking to be offended (after it was censored FOR you) is no one's fault except your own - either you used the word in the past yourself and noted what it was censored to, or typed in as many pejorative terms as possible to determine what was said.  Nobody needed to save you from such things.  Your delicate sensibilities evidently aren't as fragile and easily offended as you'd like to portray them to be.

You want a babysitter?  You want to be saved from yourself?  Stupidity SHOULD hurt so lessons wouldn't need to be legislated.  The only way to save YOU from such stupidity you SOUGHT OUT is to boot you from here.

Stop being such a ridiculous  :tool:
