The person who advised me on the f word as a no-go also beta'd the story that has the s word.
...and, on reflection, I think that was me. I was never all that sure about how the S-word was regarded and at the time I thought it was okay in moderation. Then LabRat made her EIC ruling and we ran with that policy from then on.
And there you are: a perfect example of how different GEs can have different understandings about where the line lies. It's a very, very difficult balance to get right, and all we can do is our best.
