This issue has been hashed and re-hashed.

The issue with the word 'c***' is that it reduces a woman to nothing more than a degrading word for her genitalia. Not only is it insulting, it is also implicitly deeply sexist.

The others are IMHO FAR less insulting.

If any of you fine gentlemen feel threatened by someone calling you a prick in a thread, please bring it to a moderator's attention, where it will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

Anyway... I'm just going to end this one. Sundance can have a peek at it and make a decision for next time the site rules are updated.
