See, it's a reasonable restriction on the USE of those words. He isn't saying you can never use those words, but that in some cases, for the protection of everybody's sanity/safety they should not be used together.

I see a huge difference between this 'reasonable restriction' and an outright ban.
So are you saying that you would store all these words in an unassembled fashion in your computer and, if a thread appears at 2 am, you have to go to your computer, turn it on, assemble the words and THEN be ready to rebuke the thread?

I think Illinois and Washington, DC already ban the use of these words, in any order. I have seen numerous news reports of BGs using these words in an illegal fashion.

I dunno man. I see this going all the way to the Supreme Court.
