As much as i hate the word, I can't bring myself to go into  admin  mode and pull the original post. Kiley is expressing an opinion about the word and it's place in society and  no matter how much I disagree with that opinion, the word is not being directed at any person on BT and I'm not a fan of censoring opinions .  If Kiley were as funny as George Carlin I think the response here might be a little different.  Carlin was a huge proponent of words only having the power they are permitted to have.  I found Carlin hilarious despite my opinion that his absolutism, while accurate in an idealistic way really didn't hold water when put to the test.
