OH NOES! PEOPLE TALKING ON THE INTERNET THE WAY THEY TALK IN REAL LIFE! HAX!!! GET THE BANZONRZ STICK!!!!!11111elevntyone
Seriously though, I don't know many people that get through a sentence or two without slipping in a swear word or two, even those that are very innapropriate.
I remember Kevin Smith saying more or less they same thing when he was justifying why his new movie shouldn't get a NC-17 rating in the US, I'm not saying that everyone or even most people are like that, but its naive to think that a large majority of the population, when speaking in private (or semi-private, but not public which is governed but sepereate social conventions), is going to alter their speach habits to not offend people in a video game that they deal with anonymously.
For example, if someone screams in a chat channel they're a <insert name of WWII German political party of some renown> and death to all Jews/blacks/gays/etc, thats fine, but I reserve the right to say back at them that they should be dragged out into the street, have their genitals cut off, and be left to bleed to death. Neither concept is appetizing or pleasant but we are all entitled to our opinions whether they are right, wrong, naive, intelligent, just, or unjust. Telling people not to express their views in ernest is 10 times more offensive to me.
TL;DR = Free Speach is always a good thing, Censorship is always a bad thing
P.S. I have nothing against gay/lesbian people (in fact I consider myself a male lesbian  )
PPS. theirs a certain irony to posting this on this particular forum given the amount of PC modding that goes on.....

Then I start ranting and calling people æbreedersÆ and ædamned heterosexualsÆ until I wise up and log off for a while to cool down.
LoL didnt know that "breeders" was an insult?!
Wonder how she thought she came onto this earth.
****ing tube-babies for the win.
Anytime someone uses the term "breeders" like that, it makes me think of the Christopher Lambert movie: Fortress, where he and his wife get locked up for just that.
Also, I wonder if anyone in this thread has ever read "The Forever War," interesting read given the subject matter.
