I guess starving artless just doesn't see the seriousness of this matter. I mean seriously our lives depend on it.
@ said Artless one Despite the completely superfluous nature of you're responses and you're inability to spot a bit of banter on a forum that derives half it's name from it, I will tell that you any censorship of profanity or any other words only lends them more credence. While my comments prior were of course made with tongue firmly in cheek they were not without a morsel of truth behind them. Is it a pressing issue that profane language is banned here, of course not, but it is another example of unnecessary censorship reinforcing mis-representative presumptions about words. Lending words power is giving a crippled or disarmed foe ammunition, it is disregarding the sticks and stones and instead allowing the names to hurt you. What should happen of course is that everyone simply be free to express themselves as they feel aprapo and allowing the censorship to come on a personal level either by ignoring people who express themselves in a manner you find displeasing or simply using the "ignore user" feature this forum allots to it's members. I don't see how any right thinking person could possibly disagree. |

Do not allow people who wish to give words power the ability to do so.
Allow all words to be used and reinforce personal freedom and the prospect of context defining words, not letters. Do the RIGHT thing. Addendum to the Community: If you believe in this message as much as me, please post the most offensive non-traditional curse word you can think of. You know a word that is not considered a swear that you find dirty. For me it's the word "MOIST" Grosses me out every time. |

No one has the ability to swear they just know how to bypass the swear filter, which most everyone except new users do. I'll PM you with how to since you wouldn't swear needlessly. But im pretty sure the censors are pre-installed or something like that.

This is not an attack on you or anyone else Crow, far from it. Just to be clear. I like you and that's that.
I do this at every forum I visit and stay at and have had great success lifting word bans. There is one common bond in every successful case, strong community support. This is not about my ability to type cuss words, though I thank you for trusting my discretion. This is about the principal which while it may seem trivial, is a big part of why I left the UK for the States. Regardless Thank you and I hope you'll join the cause. |
