20. yeah, i get it. but
as you have seen, we do remove comments often. so, do not stop alerting. and if the context of the post is such that a common word is really defined as being about mental illness, it could be removed. be sure to explain yourself in your alerts.

and i have learned a lot from posters here. like, for instance, i never took the word cocksucker as homophobic, but now i can see it is. i just never looked at it that way, but it wasn't hard to do see when it was pointed out to me.
so, you never know when you are providing someone with an ah ha moment. you probably wont know, either. but that is the way change is often made.
keep trying.
