    Ooh I see what you mean, makes sense.

    Although it stifles discussion about legitimate issues involving said word, it sends a clear message “that language is not allowed here”, which might be reassuring for some users, even though the censored word or intent may still be blatantly obvious.

      Yeah, it’s an unfortunate case of the mods deciding the ends justifies the means, but in effect their ends are not met and the means are damaging.
