So, I guess, then, that it's perfectly okay if I say, "Pass me a fag while I light these faggots and eat a faggot, it makes me so gay."

And just how often would you ever hear anyone saying this? Even in the UK? ESPECIALLY IN WORLD OF WARCRAFT???

So, here's the thing: add "fag" and "faggot" to the filtered words list. Those of you who still want to see it? Turn your filter off - dare I chance to say that you are probably among those who were arguing about the chat filter bug being defaulted to "on" anyway?
