Board censorship and Kim Morgan's review of "Without A Paddle"
HOM<beef>O!
Censored on the forum, yet it still gets used in Kim's review of Without A Paddle. Kim even goes one worse and says "****".
So reviewers can use potentially offensive terms to illustrate a point, but woe to those who do the same in the forum?

I think you are missing the point of DonnachaOne's post. If I'm reading it correctly, the point is that the review uses those terms (in a perfectly fine, non-offensive way). Yet if we try to do the same in the forums, we're censored. It's the double-standard within the same site (DVDTalk -- reviews vs. forum) that is being pointed out.
There's nothing to "forgive" Kim for... she did nothing wrong in her review. (A pretty good one, at that.)

"Motherfucker" does cross all racial, ethnic and sexual boundaries. It's a universal term.
