@^"The real Noel Coward is pretty much the last person who would advocate 'cleansing' language."

And real students of Noel Coward would be able to read properly and understand the difference between 'cleansing' offensive language and allowing for 'righteous debate'. It is the difference between ideas and vitriol. The former is to be encouraged, unfettered; the latter is to be eschewed! Even 'censored'.

In our democracy we have been able to define this notion in law. That is why legislation around slander exists. We should also be able to find that balance in opinion sharing!
