I'm personally not telling anyone what they can or cannot say. If/and when I make my own decision to, let's say, turn the channel in this example, I'm not whipping those around me into a frenzy for any type of social self-gratification or rationalization. It's the same for sports and music, as two other examples that get tons of play on this forum. From that perspective, I may not buy the N-bomb dude's album - but support his right to make a complete fool of himself by using the word. As far as social progress is is concerned, that's a murky area. I would assume that everyone has their own definition here. Good luck getting a broad consensus on Yappi.
