This has been long overdue...some of the bloggers are not positively contributing to debates bit are resorting to name calling and personal attacks...The level of debates has virtually died...Thanks Sowetan. Please name and shame those responsible.

GREAT. One assumes that this will be applied to ALL the languages used, and that it will be applied with a modicum more sense than is displayed by the "moderator" at present, as , with respect, many of the rejected terms are just plain idiotic. Excluding words such as "g o a t", "v i l l a g e", "w i f e" and so on is just ridiculous.
