I never realized how much I missed your particular brand of snark until it came back. :RollieEyes:

The TOS says we should not make derrogatory remarks toward any member. Then the TOS proxy filter takes the word moron (I changed to m o r o n - Ha! see if you catch that one!) and censors it without regard to context. I never said the poster was a moron. I said that waywards all think we BSs are morons. Different context entirely.

Back in maybe the 10th grade, I had a biology teacher who just didn't like me one bit (I know - good judge of character - I beat BigK to it!). One day I missed an exam because I was sick and I had to take a make-up exam. Up to that point I was top of my class but I didn't do very well on the make-up. I got a little angry because I believed that the exam had not covered the material we had learned.

I think the teacher taunted me in front of the class for my poor grade and I got mad and recommended that the teacher send me to the principal before I called him an i d i o t (using spaces just to be safe). He became indignant and sent me to the principal who called my mother to come for a meeting. So the principal starts out by telling me that I am in serious trouble for calling the teacher an i d i o t. I corrected him and said very clearly that I had at no time called the man an i d i o t but that I might do so if he had not sent me to the principal.

The principal accepted my explanation and agreed that I had not, in fact, called the man an i d i o t so I was no longer in serious trouble. My mother was looking at my exam paper that had created this problem and said to the principal "Excuse me but I don't think this first question on the doppler effect or the question about free fall motion or the one about thermodynamics have anything to do with biology. Whay are they on a biology exam?".

I got the rest of the day off.

The biology teacher got sent to the principal's office where he was in serious trouble.

The next day I had a new biology teacher.

It's all about context.

See there? The [censored] [censored] forum software censored my [censored] post for no [censored] good [censored] reason!

Strange things get through the filters since the last update. Strange things don't. Sometimes you just don't know what will and will not get through.

Bathroom words have been getting through but the proper term for a female dog won't. Strange.

This is a test. This is only a test.

m o r o n = moron
i d i o t = idiot
d o l t = dolt
w a n k e r = [censored]
n i n c o m p o o p = nincompoop
d u n c e = dunce
i m b e c i l e = imbecile
c r e t i n = cretin
b l o c k h e a d = blockhead
d u m m y = dummy
a n k l e - b i t e r = ankle-biter
d o d o = dodo
p r a t t = pratt
b o o b y = booby

Just want to see what is and is not allowed.

What are bathroom words? "His"? "Hers"? "Men"? "Women"? "Damen"? "Herren"?

Almost forgot the obvious:
"Male - Eastern"? "Male - Western"? "Female - Eastern"? "Female - Western"?

Yes apparently they all do get through.

Well, it think they are the ones that start with p and s.

Ah ahm uh Suthe'n lady an' we don' tock lyke tha-yet.

Yore mama sounds like a pistol. Apparently it's in the genes!:MrEEk:

Now I remember. I wasn't going to call him an idiot - I was going to call him a [censored] Doh!, okay...male offspring of a female kanine.

You can take the boy out of Arkansas but you can't take Arkansas out of the boy.

"your particular brand of snark" - I've never been able to put it into words but T&L, you've captured it exactly.

Potty Mouth Piojitos... :RollieEyes:

shame, shame!!

Ah Mel, we all knew that.....

I'm assuming you'd already met his mother, or was it just a lucky guess?

Can I call ML a varmint? Will that get censored?

I think 'varmint' is allowed. Therefore, you can call ML that....the bigger question is 'MAY' you do so. And, if you should do so, is it a respectful, kind, and appropriate choice.

Some varmits are good.


...with ketchup.
