Just sayin' The purpose of voting to unblock the word Piss could be for other friends who would want to use it, but yes, the main purpose of it is for users who individually want to keep using it.

I thought that was self-explanatory, though? He's meaning to say that voting A while knowing a number of users' presence on this site depends on is the most selfish, uncivil and downright despicable way to act in this situation, and I, quite frankly, don't disagree. Not holding the interests of another person who you have never met, who lives across the world, who you only talk to sometimes, above your own is hardly "the most selfish, uncivil and downright despicable way to act in this situation". Trying to guilt trip people into changing their votes, however, may be. I have to agree with Fort. You can't expect the whole community to cater to a few users just because they have silly parents. The community has the right to vote on changes they see as beneficial. If it impedes upon a select few's interests, that's not really worth scrapping everyone else's interests for. So you have to decide which side you're willing to lose; the majority or the minority. No one ever cares about the minority, so generally people will just say farewell and go on living their wonderful chat days in peace with their fellow friends. What I'm getting at is, why does it have to be that way, when both silly parent's kids and mature parents kids can be on the same site with the "mature" parents kids "suffering" to a degree by not using their preferred words? Is that too selfish to ask? That it seems is the question.
