A fairly new poster was, after all, quoting someone else--I'm guessing he/she didn't know how to format it so that that was obvious. I do not write or say the N word because it offends and sickens me. I appreciate posters who use n****r or something so I don't have to look at the word. "Cunt," however--really? It's better to write c*nt? Maybe I'm wrong, but I see a world of difference between the two terms. Maybe because I'm personally offended when people post f*ck--what's the difference between thinking it and writing it? I think even if you're hardline on "cunt" you might give this post a pass because the word itself is so relevant to what's going on. It's not like OP picked it out of thin air.

And I don't understand how the poster could have presented the point without some reference to "cunt," or if you prefer, "c*nt."
