The New York Times is a private company that puts out a newspaper for the
public and prints letters to the editor.  If you send a letter to the editor
to the Times with the word "faggot" or "fuck" in it, they might print that
letter, but they will edit those words out.  Because the majority of their
customers do not want to see those words in print.  Likewise the vast majority
of grexers do not want to see words like "faggot" or "nigger" or "kike" or
whatever.  It makes grex a much less pleasant reading experience.  It is in
the interest of Grx for the conferences to be as pleasant a reading experience
as possible because Grex wants people to come back again and again.  As a
private organization, just like the Times, Grex thus has the right to
acceptable moderation of what it publishes
