You said it wasn't a democracy, so just say "Do not use such and such word because I said so"
That's what I did.

So we are supposed to write posts in the English language keeping inferences that our words may have in any other languages in mind? Doesn't sound very logical. Now English is not my native language but when I write in English I tend to use words that would make contextual sense in English.
So if the OSNews team wishes to ban certain words and censor their use, fair enough. It is your perogative and right to do so, you manage the site. But I don't think you need to provide illogical justifications for those actions. You said it wasn't a democracy, so just say "Do not use such and such word because I said so"
