    (I stand by that and I’m blown away at how many people are truly offended at the word cunt.)

    You shouldn’t be. It is in fact an extremely offensive and misogynistic expression to use everywhere other than Britain and Australia. You also used it in reference to an objectively well respected Justice that fought for equality and women’s rights her entire career. To reduce her to “a cunt” is obviously offensive and obnoxious. I’m not surprised you got a ban.

      Right, so it’d be better to instead say RBJ was an incredibly stubborn and shortsighted nincompoop whose bad decision-making doomed an entire generation and undid her personal legacy in the blink of an eye

        Well yes, it would be better. That is a much more civil and digestible format in which to argue. I don’t agree with the content of your statement, at all, but I wouldn’t support its censorship.
