However, to support many of the previous responses, and provide a certain "official" response, two key excerpts from HELP RULES:

* Offensive language is prohibited or discouraged, depending on use.
See LANGUAGE for details. Sexual harassment is not tolerated.

* If a staff member makes a decision regarding rules or gameplay (in
person or otherwise), you are expected to comply with it.


I believe the first tends to cover the original situation, but in the
case that it was somehow unclear, once clarified by an Immortal,
there is little room for ambiguity remaining.
