Here is where I was censored on another site, this was their rationale for reasoning that the word "democrat party" is akin to calling them satanists.
Hilarious !
The names of the two main political parties are the Republican party (RNC) whose members are Republicans, and the Democratic Party (DNC) whose members are Democrats. It is not the "Democrat" party. The use of Democrat party was started as a pejorative term and was meant to be derogatory. (see this) We realize many do not know that, and don't mean it in a derogatory way, so we have sent pms to members explaining. We would prefer not to make it part of the Statement of Purpose.

Until I became a member of this site, I, myself, didn't even know that this was an insult.
I'm going to create a note on file that you have been informed of this.
We're not going to take any action this time; but please be sensitive to this in the future.
I'll go ahead and [Staff Edit] your post for you, so as not to ruffle anymore feathers; but you are free to edit out the [Staff Edit] flag if you so wish.
Regards,
The Left have really lost their minds and so thinned skinned and censor happy they have become clows in a circus.
But I got to thinking, they are right. Using the term democrat party is akin to calling them a satanist.
So I agreed.
