Why is the alternate word for "molestation" banned...

...When molestation is the one almost exclusively used to describe sexual violence? Neither word bothers me, and the filtering of them is a minor annoyance I can live with, but the inconsistency seems odd. The M word [quote] 1. To disturb, interfere with, or annoy. 2. To subject to unwanted or improper sexual activity.[/quote] The R word [quote] 1. The crime of forcing another person to submit to sex acts, especially sexual intercourse. 2. The act of seizing and carrying off by force; abduction. 3. Abusive or improper treatment; violation: a -blam!- of justice.[/quote] See that, it has two non-sex definitions vs molestation only having one non-sexual use. So why is molestation not banned as well? [spoiler]And can we ban the word "van" while we are at it? :P[/spoiler]

  • There's a typo in the title, OP (Sorry to be obnoxious, but misspelled words annoy me a lot). To answer your question, I agree with you. They basically mean the same thing, so why not?
