L*****n is a banned word?

[WV Reefer]

Just saying world and thanks for the responses, just hate the thought that some people might be offended, I have a few gay friends that are in the hobby and a l*****n mandarin that kills all suitors tried so far!

R2R is a family oriented forum. They have there own set of rules and standards. They pay for and maintain this website privately.

This forum is not for political views or arguing political correctness. If some thing offends you, accept it and use the forum, or don’t.

Family friendly for traditional families. If you think bigotry is family friendly, this is not the right path. “If you don’t like it leave” is a popular argument these days. It’s weak and lacks empathy. The word has no negative connotation as it stands on its own. If anyone thinks it does, they need to look further inward. Be best r2r.

@evolved and @Crabs McJones posted that this has been brought up to the moderators. I missed this when I posted. I think it is time for everyone to stop. It is being discussed.

Although not a bad word, it is 100% totally unrelated to reef talk, therefore IMO the only way it would be used on this site would be in a negative manner. Keep it banned IMO.

L*****n , gay, bi transgender lgbt, how can we have a reefing community if it is not all inclusive, sorry but it is like racism in the modern world?!

We are working on this. The word could have very well been added to the filter years and years ago because someone took offense to the context the word was used etc.

It comes off to me as more sexist rather than anti LGBT really.

Why are you coming in so hot? A mod is working on it relax. It should of been a PM convo anyhow

Sigh... I thought we could have a nice discussion; apparently not.

Some need to be reminded about R2R's be kind policy.

Meanwhile, as already stated 3 times by 3 different mods - we are discussing this issue.

 

[evolved]

Some things resolve quickly. We agree and lesbian is no longer on the filter.

Everyone is welcome here no matter what race, class, creed, etc. We are discussing this issues as a team. For now I’m closing this as this is a forum for the discussion of saltwater reef aquariums. Thanks.
