Those ****ing Asterisks

So, to review:I cannot (without a trivial subterfuge) tell Chuck77 that his question about thermodynamics is not s-t-u-p-i-d, because, well, heaven forend that I should say such a thing.I cannot (without the same subterfuge) say that Holocaust deniers say that Holocaust survivors are l-i-a-r-s, because this is a fact undisputed by neither party to the conversation, and so is taboo.It took rather more ingenuity for me to name the lawgiver of the Spartans, because the first two letters of his name are an L followed by a Y.I can, on the other hand, call someone a disingenuous moron, because the forum software has no objection to that sort of thing.

Not any more it isn't. Nor is saying that *** gave the Spartans their laws, or that the *** of REM are obscure, or that Apollo is said to have invented the ***, or that the ability to take on the form of a wolf is known as *** ...But I can still call someone a mendacious crudbucket.If you persist with this substitute for moderation, then problems *** ahead. Actually, I usually find that quite easy.Edited by Dr Adequate, : No reason given.

And there I shall write freely of ***e and ***res ***rics and the ***nx and ***me disease and people called ***nn and ***le; of ***chees and the lands of ***dia and ***onesse; of ***mph nodes and ***copods; of ***tch gates and ***canthropy.You know, I've though of a way you can distinguish all those words from the word "***ing". It is the only one in which the letters "***" are followed by the letters "ing". I guess that's such a subtle pattern it took a genius like me to notice it, but now that it's been drawn to your attention perhaps you could modify your list of censored words accordingly.

Well I, for one, am not going to take this *** down. And anyone who says I am is bullshitting.

Ooh yes.Buzsaw: "prophecy".
Dawn Bertot: "logic".
Mazzy: any word containing a vowel.

Or how about little love-hearts, they look friendly and non-threatening. That way when I try to talk about **chees, people will see ♥♥♥ and think that my message is one of love and not fruit.Alternatively one could replace each word with appropriate symbols. For example the word "***" could be replaced with ╚ ῖ . I think that would work.

If you're volunteering to be a guinea pig, I've always felt that you overuse words containing the letter T.

Let's test that. Lychees. Lysimachus. Lyme disease.

If you would kindly arrange for me to be able to mention lyrics and lychees and Lysistrata, I shall take my chances on you suspending me if I do so.Edited by Admin, : Voila!
