Yes, for using "fag" as a slur.
That wasn't the only reason. How about the Hawkeye's posts about degradation of women and his desire to slam( etc) the heads of women against stone walls ( as an example). And on, and on, and on.
But then, we have other males who love to use the C-word when degrading women or use the K-word when attempting to degrade Jewish individuals...etc
If my memory serves me correct, the "K" word was once directed to a non-Jew. I'm assuming it was pejorative to be thought of in that manner, when one is a non-Jew and would not like anyone to think otherwise. Or, it could be the start of a loving diminutive for the term "Jewish"? By the way, the "K" word supposedly originated in Ellis Island, when Jewish immigrants in the late 19th century couldn't sign their names, and would not make an "X" instead, since it was too much like a "cross." So, they were asked to make a circle instead. The circle being a "chicle" (gutteral "ch" like in the correct pronunciation of Chanukkah). So, the non-Jewish civil servants used that word to describe Jews, but with a "hard" "ch" (K sound). In effect, Jews were the people of the "circle." to the English speaking Americans.
I only know one person who uses the "C" word with some regularity and to be fair, he doesn't use it frequently and most often uses it to slur males. As vulgarity alone doesn't seem to be a cause for suspension, I don't see it's use applied to a male resulting in anyone disappearing. Now if it is used against a woman, that's probably a different story. (BTW, I haven't seen the person of whom I write for a while now and suspect he may have been banished)
I really haven't seen anyone call anyone a "kike" (and I am assuming here that this is the "K" word) There was a silly dust-up about layman using the term, but his use was not as a slur directed towards anyone, and was quite the opposite of anti-Semitism. I would think if someone called a member who was self-acknowledged as Jewish a "kike" (or even if the user clearly believed the member was Jewish) that would be grounds for suspension. Of course someone would have to report the abuse as the moderators are not monitoring every thread and every post.
Calling an acknowledged gentile a "kike" might warrant a suspension based on stupidity.
