Except it takes far more than five seconds of my busy schedule to consider whether my fic contains any of a long list of increasingly unobjectionable (from my point of view) words that I'm nevertheless told not to use because they might possibly offend someone somewhere.

There comes a point where overpolicing stifles creativity and discourages activity for fear of slipping a single word and becoming the centre of an exhausting argument when all you wanted was to write some light fiction as a hobby.

And by single word I don't mean a slur, which I'd hope none of us use casually anyway, but something like "crazy". Which isn't even used negatively all the time. Crazy awesome, anyone?
