Here's my spin on the situation:

If we're not going to enforce the block of the word then frankly I see heeding the community's wishes would lead to inconvenience more than anything else (of course, actually enforcing it would be far more illogical, but I disagree with blocking it at all). If saying "dab" is still allowed, but we block the word despite this, then wouldn't that just be an annoyance to those who want to use the word (also it should be noted that the word has more practical uses, which would prove this decision to be even more of a hindrance)? Sure, users could just avoid the yellowx via the bypass, but that makes the entire process redundant anyways.
