In fact, edit your post now please Nyan. Apart from that it's an excellent point. "Community", "website" or just about anything else.

"You're a ...." is already used as a fully general counterargument. Don't encourage it!

I want to keep the use of the word, but to hide it from google I have replaced it with it's rot13: phyg

And now we can all relax and have a truly uninhibited debate about whether LW is a phyg. Who would have guessed that rot13 has SEO applications?

Just to be clear, we're all reading it as-is and pronouncing it like "fig", right? Because that's how i read it in my head.

I hope so, or this would make even less sense than it should.

I've been pronouncing it to rhyme with the first syllable in "tiger".

The C-word is still there in the post URL!

That's much better!

(I hadn't realised the post titles were redundant in Reddit code ...)

Upvoted for agreeing and for reminding me to re-read a certain part of the sequences. I loath fully general counterarguments, especially that one.

That being said, would it be appropriate for you to edit your own comment to remove said word? I don't know (to any signifigant degree) how Google's search algorithms work, but I suspect that having that word in your comment also negatively affects the suggested searches.

Oh, yeah, done.
