Really? Does one have to use that word while committing an armed robbery or punching the recipient? Gay bashing has become a very hot button issue in the US, particularly in the past month, as has cyber-bashing. People need to be more cognizant that what they post on a forum is seen by everyone in the forum, and when it gets archived on the web, it can be seen by anyone in the world. I closed my Facebook account after seeing just how stupid people are in posting crap on their home page. One can pretty well destroy a person's career by pointing out that he/she used the n-word or the f-word in a post on the Internet. Even using the n-word in making a point regarding not using the n-word can get you unemployed very quickly. If one is going to throw the n-bomb or f-bomb around, one had better be self-employed in an area where PR is not an issue. Like garbage collection (that doesn't rely on a public contract).
