This is an excellent thread to remind everyone that substituting letters or symbols to mask profanity is prohibited on FR as well.

Yeah. Tell me about it. What was interesting was that I did not realize the word was off limits. I use “bitch” as an example becuase it is only offensive depending on the context. And I feel the same way about the N word. It can aptly apply to a person regardless of their race, though most people see it just as race, just as the B word is usually seen as not referring to dogs. It is not like the F word, which is offensive in a forum, regardless of use, and why I would not have done the same thing with that word. It’s why I used the n word as my example - to prove he could skirt the software - figuring I was using a word that out of any context was not offensive. My bad. ;-)

Thanks for the reminder. Its a rule that is regulary broken (I know - I break it often), but maybe if replies are deleted more often, then we can clean up our site.

It is? Why haven’t you thumped us for it?

I will do better. Thanks for the admonishment.

All the dirty words are so over used, they have become boring. This is one reason why I Love Catholic Nerds, they use a corny but so much more entertaining vocabulary.

The poster wasn't addressing profanity, it was about the selective use of the word "nigga" and we all know that with that spelling it just means "man" if used in a loving and caring way by a person of color {and I am a person of color}, Sicilian is a color that is darker than barry soreteo.

Oh yeah? Well, @#$+Y&!

Seriesly, I've seen a lot more profanity here, of late. I know y'all can't control all of it, but it's just an observation...
