Can we uncensor ****?

I can't imagine that there is rampant use of the word h o m o in a deragotory way, but it is so darn annoying to have a discussion about evolution, apes, milk, etc. and be censored for pointing out that something is a member of the **** erectus family, etc. Hell, erectus is more inflamitory than ****.

Honestly, has it been such a hot button around here that we need to keep **** censored?

We should censor "deragotory".

I don't know what it means, but it sounds bad!

homosapiens

I've been doing that for a long time to get around the ban.

Dave is right, time for this one to go.

I can only imagine there is a huge round table discussion going on in the mod forum about the pros and cons of uncensoring this.


How is that discussion going?

I've hacked in and right now the current plan is to allow the word but ban HMO.

I believe any "huge round table discussion" is doomed to fail since, knowing our mods and admins, it'll swiftly degenerate into a circle-jerking session.

How homoerotic!

IIRC, h o m o in the Latin means "man". Homme, and Hombre derive from it.
H o m o in the Greek means "same". Hetro means "different".

Not too pejorative.
