This also includes fully asterisked out words as I do not know if you did it, or the forum filter did.
You know I can fully comprehend and understand the forum rules governing the use of asterisks in certain words. Many times a well placed asterisk leaves nothing to the readers imagination as to the true spelling and meaning of the word. But there appears to be something new to the forum rules here. Forgive me for inquiring but I have to ask. What is a 'fully asterisked out word'? Are you saying that if I type as an exclamation ******* or @#&^%# I will recieve an infraction for being vulgar and offensive?
Many times a conversation needs some kind of addtional exclamation to drive home a point. These types of non words leave everything to the imagination of the reader since 'fully asterisked out words' are not words nor do they have any specific meaning.
just wondering
