Can someone post a list of words were not allowed to use on DU

98 rec's for the below thread and it was locked because of a couple of people offended by Matt Tiabbi's use of the word *****.

1. If you click alert on any post and then click the little question mark next to the section, "Insensitive (bigotry, hate, ridicule, stereotyping) toward certain groups of people," you'll see that it reads:

When discussing certain topics -- especially those relating to each human being's unique personal identity -- DU members have a responsibility to show greater understanding and sensitivity. To help promote a welcoming atmosphere for all of our members, the moderators are empowered to remove any post that they deem insensitive. Such topics include, but are not limited to: race or ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation or gender identity, religious believers or non-believers, Jews or Judaism, Muslims or Islam, geographic region or place of origin, disability (mental or physical), weight or other physical characteristics, or age. Moderators may also remove any post using insensitive terminology (eg: 'cocksucker,' 'pink tutu,' 'bitch,' 'whore,' 'retard,' etc.).

Hopefully that will give you some guidance.

2. So what you're sayig is we can't use the word ***** here at DU?

Actually Matt Tiabbi used it.

There were 98 recs on that thread with only a couple of members who pouted because the word was used.

So I ask again--- Is ***** a censored word here on DU---and if so can you please provide the members a list of censored or banned words.

3. Here's an idea:

Instead of this: I give you a list of words, and then you go out and try to find some other way to piss people off.

You do this: Use your brain and show a little sensitivity.

You tell him, Skins; the truemud primitive's an ass anyway.

I used to wonder why I have spent so many hours of my life sitting in classes about what is appropriate behavior and what is not, like sexual harassment classes. When any decent person should know how to behave. Then I met the DUmmies and I realized that yes, there are people out there with no common sense in the least.

Unless you're discussing conservatives, republicans, or 14-year-old girls.

He's a *****, too.

He's a *****, too.

A dirty and diseased one at that.

He's a *****, too.

Now hold on here... don't denigrate real pussies like that. Real pussies serve a useful function. They catch mice.**   




**Get your mind out of the gutter, guys.  Although the other pussies are.... naw. Ain't gonna say it.

*****=bad so using it can be viewed as insensitive

Islam=good so bashing isn't tolerated

Christianity=bad so bashing is tolerated
