I mean really.  If you can't be more creative in your comments when you're irritated with somebody, you're just showing your lack of skill.

sure, but it's just not a good rant if you can't have some gratuitous invective flying about, now is it? Takes all the flavor out of it. Like eating cold pancakes with no syrup.  Bleah.

You can rant all day long without swearing, it just takes style.

I've got style.  More than you'll know, you inbred chimp fetus. I simply maintain that cussing adds some flavor.  Seasoning.

Cuss words would have reduced the quality of that insult. Flavor added by cussing is bland and tasteless.

I was told by GUI that the end to the FCC reign of these forums would occur "sometime in the next two weeks."  He said this on the 20th of February.  So, unless the "two weeks" of which he spoke is like that Tom Hanks movie "The Money Pit," I would think we would be golden on or about Sunday.

Time will tell. . .

Judging by his history, I'd say pack a lunch... or thirty.

And on the cool check in
Center stage on the mic
And we're puttin' it on wax
It's the new style

frankly,

i like the challenge of fukcing with the smurf filters to see just what kind of fucl<ing sh1t we can pull off.

but, im okay with the smurfing in a weird fukced up way.

Filter dodging is one of those things we don't like, but its not quite a banable offense.  If you don't ever care to be a moderator, you'll probably not get in too much trouble over it.  We'll just go ahead and add those dodges into the censor.  Now everybody can enjoy even more undecipherable text.  You can thank the filter dodgers.

For a professed Christian, more or less, you certainly don't seem to mind cursing.

Thats why I dont filter dodge, ya know, so I dont lose my place in the moderator nomination list.

I hate to be an ass, but knock it off. We've made it clear that circumventing the filters will earn you a temp ban. We've been lenient, but you just keep pushing.

As for this whole issue, I think it's dumb that so many of you can't seem to function with filters in place. Yes, eventually I'll allow it to be user selectable (although I think I'm going to miss my two week deadline), but in the mean time, what's the big deal? So you see "smurf" occasionally. Usually you can figure out what word was meant to be there, but if not, who cares? Meh.
