However, comments like this one are why the thread is still open; discussion may be winding down, but it is by no means over. Anyone else who still opposes this change completely can (and should) still post their point of view, it's just that it would be best to focus on why a filter which only prevents racist/sexist/homophobic slurs (which is the compromise I was thinking of) should not be put into place. (For the record, in spite of my having made several effortposts on this subject, I can't really think of any compelling reasons beyond what you've mentioned about chatmod responsibility as to why this specific version of the filter should not be implemented.)
