Either way, you're making a conscious decision and taking deliberate steps in contravention of the rules of the society - this forum - within which you have elected to participate.

No one other than you types what you write here. You alone are responsible for your words and your actions under your User Name. If there's profanity in your posts - outright or masked - it is your responsibility to bear the consequences.

You choose what to post with every word you type. If you're tired of being brigged for swearing, maybe it's time to choose differently?

Brilliantly stated. Bravo.

Wait a minute here, 'bastid'?

'... you cheeky bastid', from a moderator no less, is ok? But if someone were to use asterisks and type 'you cheeky bast***' that's the word that will infect our souls, curve our spine, and keep the country from winning the war?

All this because someone got his panties in a wad over 'fully asterisked words'. Something which isn't in the forum rules nor has it yet been defined or explained what a 'fully asterisked word' is. I for one have never heard of such a thing.

Where's George Carlin when you need him? He would have field day with this one.

I haven't had a pure thought since I hit 40!!

My goals in Life has always been to be:
A Dirty Old Man,
The Old Man next door that hates everyone,
The Old Man that keeps all the kids stuff that lands in his yard,
The Village Idiot.

So far I've reached 3 of the 4 goals.

The problem with that one is that "bastard" is obviously not on the list. It's on my personal list of words I don't use, and I only repeat it here to show that fact. Jim has fun with it, but if it was on the list I'd like to think that he wouldn't.

Well now you have. As at least one moderator has said, it's all in the context. If it's obvious what was meant, then the rules apply. Even Neal has said as much.

I found that by reaching goals
1, 2, and 4 first?

Those snot nosed little Brats are out to keep me from reaching Goal number 3!!

They all grew up and moved away just after I reached #2.
I'm hopeing #2 will cause the Parents to sell out so a new batch of SNLB come with the new owners.
(Who I will hate to maintain the #2 goal)

And Goal #4 was actually the first Goal I reached when I moved to my Village!!

Although I can't imagine why.
