No. They don't "use the C-word." it got used on one thread, by one poster on the old site.) This sparked a debate over whether or not there should be "word policing." The consensus was no, there should not be mandatory "word policing," that the community ought to enforce its standards through debate and argument rather than moderator fiat. Since that thread, it's not been said, except for mentions of that particular discussion... Which amounts to exactly the same thing as you and I saying "C-word", just with fewer letters.

As for "Killary", a search shows that it is exactly one poster over there using that term. one dude. he uses it frequently, but it's definitely not a "they."

Again. A progressive who disagrees with you is not the same thing as a right-wing nutjob.
