Try the Nixon standard: “[expletive deleted].”
>> that lasted longer than expected!
Have you wiggled all your fingers ‘n toes to make sure you have feeling everywhere? :-)
Okay, I’m fine with that. I used three asterisks before because that is what I was requested to do.
Replace the F-word with “Obama”, it means the same thing and is equally offensive....
Don’t get yourself banned by taking it personal.
There seems to be an effort to clean things up a bit, this place has been getting a bit loose lately.
I have been warned myself for letting my passion go a bit over the top in my little two bit comments.
I sure don’t want to lose my ability to vent here.
You quote DU Jerks so, you have to clean them up I guess.
FWIW, I always enjoy your threads and what you bring to the discussion. It is saddening to see long-time, highly respected FReepers being hassled.
>> Think Im gonna get a time-out...my grandson gets them all the time!
Yeah, but you’re theoretically smarter than he is and therefore held to a higher standard... right?
See post #24...
I sure can’t, Dummie Funnies is one of my favorite FREEPER features.
THEORETICALLY?...Higher Standard?
Guess I’ll have to quiz the mods...
Well, after they’ve run off just about everyone who strayed of the established straight and narrow it seems those who remain have a tight hold on their wallets.
The TdF and Survivor threads used to have hundreds and hundreds of posts each season. This Survivor is pushing week 9 and is way under 200 posts.
There is some crotchety Admin Mod who is a total Church Lady. Noticed this happening a lot in the last year or so. That mod sucks.
>> THEORETICALLY?...
See post #24. :-)
You see, we’re using three asterisks now on all our Dummies Report Cover Sheets. Did you get that memo?
GMTA
It means Were in the middle of a fundraiser and our admin-mod lips have death-grip suction on the heinie of political correctness.
Seems ridiculous!
Sometimes I believe it may depend on which mod is on watch, and what kind of mood they’re in. Could be a new, or ‘substitute’ mod. They DO work in ‘mysterious ways’ sometimes.
They aren’t as aggressive about “bad language” as they used to be, but many here seem to have ‘virgin ears’. Geez, we’re all grown ups here. People shouldn’t have such thin skin, or so easily offended ears. Of course, this is coming from someone, who if a camera crew were to follow me around all day, it would be ‘Rated R’, due to the language. (and sometimes content lol)
Are you still in the running for acceptance into the Mod Squad?
