It wasn't the topic but unexplained issues with a third party that caused that thread to get closed. Nothing to do with the posts or thread. It just had exterior ramifications. Let it die.

Let it die.

Consider it dead. My apologies.

Consider it ******* dead!

I sure didn't know the sh!t storm I had walked into that's for sure. Seems like there is a lot of bad blood flowing right now.

The reason I found out about the filter is, I was trying to post a funny picture, and the address has sh!te in it. And the filter killed the link to the picture because it edited the SH!T and left the E. So no picture and no usable link to go see the picture.

My overall issue is why not let us be adult use the occasional curse word and if an individual gets stupid with it deal with them one on one. To me it is very much like the idiot in Arizona shooting the Congresswoman and the powers that be wanting to punish the entire gun owning community for it. Let level heads prevail. Turn off the filter. Don't be the over-reactionary who punishes the whole because of the few. I have read more than one thread here and those tend to be people we all tend to despise.

I know the next thing to be said is: "don't blame us blame the over curser" I 'll say this; there is culpability on both sides. Overreaction on both sides. Get level headed (everybody), be adults, and be responsible.

When we first turned off the filter many years ago, not many people noticed.

These past few months the F bombs and everything else were all over the place. Site staff asked everyone to kinda chill out a bit but it did not work. It was growing old and we were getting more than a few complaints about the language. So, the switch got flipped back on.

As a member, I reallly hadn't noticed a language issue, nor did I get the cool it down memo. Thus the surprise. My previous statement still stands.
