Hi Dark and all, As i said I myself don't have a problem with the word. What I will do is talk to Raul and Kevin and see what they say. If they feel the h word should stay on the ban list we will keep it that way. If they feel it should be removed we'll do that. That's why we have two moderators and a list owner to decide polacy decisions regarding the list.
Cheers!
