*****Well, since you raised the question, and since what Anthony said 
pretty much made sense, too...should there even be a policy?  The 
only reason this question is being raised is because of Y!'s 
suckiness.  If we were all sitting back up in the Y! room, nobody 
would be talking about this.  But now that we have the power to 
kick/ban people we don't want, we're talking about doing it.  The 
same people that pissed me off in Y! chat are pissing me off in IRC.  
However, I respect their right to piss me off, since it goes hand in 
hand with my right to piss off other people, and I don't think that 
they should be bounced.  I'll also say that, on the other hand, 
derogatory epithets are not my favorite words to hear, but I'm pretty 
sure that goes for everyone.  If this is an issue of someone making 
serious personal insults/threats to another, then fine.  That should 
be dealt with by the two parties involved, and possibly an op, if the 
parties would like an impartial arbitrator.  I do not think that a 
blanket policy of censorship is the best way to deal with this.  I'll 
also say that I'd be one of the first to move to #qbuncensored if 
such policies were adopted.
