That's not my argument to make.

In either case whether the word starts with a C or a K they are not swear words and shouldnt be blotted out. If I choose to abuse the word then it would be a vulgar swear word. But I didnt and instead what is being enforced by the man isnt abuse of language but rather politcal correctness.
In this case "The Man" is the private owner of a private forum. You can call it whatever you like, but it's his house and his rules. My job is to enforce them. You can color it any way you like, but if you want to complain about them your beef is with him, not me.
