Is the c word a word you would like to see bantered about DU often? [View all]

As if the word as used in the US isn't a misogynistic slur. Do you believe you should be able to call any woman or male one.... at any time, in any context?

As a community standards issue, I would like to gauge the communities thoughts on this? We are mostly self moderated. We see George Carlin being touted and his 7 words you can't say on television. So, I assume there must be support for it unfettered usage here. And any objection to that is a violation of free speech in some minds.

Of course context should be taken into consideration. Ie if the word itself is being discussed, so people know what you are talking about. So, please let's not get side tracked.

Or is it a free speech issue here on DU, where it should be no holds barred?

Yes = you would like to see it bantered about on DU in any context
No = you don't want to see it bantered about on DU.

Please try to refrain from calling me the PC Police, word police, prudet (sic LOL), needing a fainting couch, a book burner, a squelcher of free speech. I am looking for honest opinions.
