Gary still doesn't get that no one wanted to disrupt any "party". D00df00d and I merely questioned why some words were censored, while some (in the same category) were not. Had nothing to with any "party".

completely agreed.

Troy-while you're laughing, check my post in reply to Johnny about testing the censor, because I was (mistakenly) thinking some changes had been made
AGAIN, i was NOT replying to Johnny.
so...there's nothing funny

On the subject of the "forum forum" traded swear word list, I've always thought it funny that a certain wholesale club that even sells tires, batteries, and oil, gets, or has gotten, the bum rush. Other times it works. Trying to imagine a "moderator party" where they debate the merits, and even meanings, of constantly-evolving blue language. This must be as uncomfortable as talking to your kids about the birds & bees.
I was on another forum where the censored stuff, instead of showing up [censored], were turned into similar meaning, yet harmless words. One wouldn't even notice it except for their own musings being comically altered, mad-libs style. And with the lack of the [censored] it actually looked like everyone got along!

Yes! On a small-engine forum that I visit, they do the same thing. My favorite is when someone uses the common term for a small-engine fuel shutoff valve, and the censor software changes it to "petrooster"!

My favorite example of that is Grassroots Motorsports. Their forum censor replaces a certain 4-letter noun with "E36 M3". You'd be surprised how often you can't tell what has really been typed...

Regardless of what you wanted ..has this not turned into a fiasco that you are still continuing to demand vindication and validation for your original proclamation?
Yes ..or no?
I'm showing you by replying how, while being a (perhaps) valid point..it was unwise given the simplicity of just ignoring it in the public venue and dealing with it discretely via PM.
..but feel free to assert your need for vindication, clarification, and validation if you desire the spectacle to continue.... you've got everyone's attention ..work has stopped ..the machinery is idle ..the celebration is on hold ..traffic is jammed.
..or you could just drop it and move on. Your point has been made ..many ..many..many times and I'm making mine ..many ..many ..many times in response.
Don't we both have something more productive to do? But, hey, I'll partner up with you. I'm right here with you if you need me to continue the dance.
Is anyone offering validation or vindication for the point I'm making? I'll keep it going until I get it ..endlessly and redundantly qualify it ..correct misconceptions and express my outrage for being misunderstood and falsely criticized for a clearly egregious insult to the House of the 3rd Orb .
..or can we just let it go?
Please be ASSURED (honest) that there is nothing personal involved here.

Both cars run and drive, and do get driven (except during the winter), but they do need restoration. Though I'm a decent mechanic, I wish I had some paint and body work skills!

Um, I HAVE dropped it (see where i agreed to just wait and see), but you keep saying stuff where I feel the need to respond.
And what I wanted IS important; so idk how anything can be "regardless" of it - especially when The Fiasco was the result of people misunderstanding my intent ("disrupt the party" etc.)
I do believe you didn't mean anything personal - i have seen your posts for as long as I've been on BITOG and i know you're not that sort of a person.
I also want you to know I didn't mean it personal towards you OR any other member here: my original post was addressed to mods/admin's, so idk why you say "if you want me to do the dance...", etc.
I also think the fisaco and misunderstanding was the result of my timing - I still stand by the point that I made, but doing it on Christmas day and on a Christmas related thread was a bad idea - I should have waited a couple of days and opened a separate thread titled "why are these words censored"? etc. I was too impatient, and that I do regret.
Now people here are probably thinking 97tbird is some kind of monster that wanted to ruin Christmas! again, NOT my intent; just picked the wrong thread and time to voice my concern.

I relize that.
All I want to say is in my two previous topics I posted ("what did you get for christmas" and "whats for christmas dinner") I put "christ" in all caps. I would do it again. I say thanks to the mods for not banning me or deleting my post, but I do not appreciate them editing them to just regular lower case letters.
However, I do understand this is Helen's board and respect what she wants.

How do you reconcile the first paragraph with the second? The ban on RSP has long been in existance. I am completely with dOOdfOOd that you should have been banned or at least reprimanded for a flagrant, unrepentant violation of the rules.

Yes. Thanks to you. You're the only one who keeps digging it up. You're the only one still trying to make a point, let alone making some rather offensive remarks as to the motives of the people you are badgering. Cut it out.

Because everything in life is not exactly what you want. Although I may not agree, this is not my board.

I was done here. Yes. Thanks to me
Digging it up again because YOU "need" to set the record straight. More validation and vindication. Let's tango another dance and determine if it's STILL worth it to you to engage in this senseless open dialog.
I'm right there with you if you need to do it some more. Is there another "last word" before you're done for the day?
Here's something that I don't think will sit well with you.
Okay, you're right. Good. Now you can move on. Does that give you satisfaction? MY POINT is for you to ask yourself WHY NOT and why it didn't 25 posts ago.
I honestly think you can't understand the object lesson here. I merely reflected everything that I saw ..and you, in outrage, was totally blind to it.
In hindsight- WAS IT WORTH IT JUST FOR YOUR SATISFACTION? Was the health of the group EVER on your radar in getting it ..or were you more concerned about YOUR ego and self interests in seeking vindication and validation??
Again, it's nothing (AT ALL) personal. This will be history to me in 5 minutes.
