SS, how do you decide that jew or chink is 20 times worse than g**?
G** has been used as a pejorative since I have been involved with Half-Life and I suspect it is used in other online games. To cop out and say it has different meanings, as g-boy stated, is only an excuse to use g** in place of racial/culture slurs becasue they are now longer acceptable.
Any of the players who would like to drop g** from the langauge filter go to your local G** and Lesbian Community Center and ask what they think.
You might all actually learn something.
