The rule cited was for using it in a personal attack. I don't think it was like that, but I do think he needs some time to cool off.
Let's hope that when he comes back he's given a chance to post without being targeted.

I could understand if he used in anger on another member but it wasn't like that at all.
Words don't have to be directed at someone to be considered offensive to others.
I understand the use of the word is popular in hip hop culture and I know it's not used maliciously, but obviously some people took offence to it and reported it and so we need to make this a comforting environment for everyone.
If I go on a rant about Jews but it's directed at nobody on the site, it doesn't make it okay.

I'm not saying that I don't agree with the suspension, I just think that the length is long considering they cited his use of the one word as the reason for the suspension.
If this is about how many people he riled up then I wish they would mention something about that in the op.

Well, "assorted indiscretions that are against the code of conduct" would be even tougher to disambiguate for indignant chirpers.

I think if they cited "being a general nuisance to the SHL" that would be enough to justify the length. If someone is ruining a large enough group of peoples fun then that's fair but then I wish they would clarify that as the reason, if that were the reason that is.

Point taken. It's fair to say that what you just said also played a factor.
