<<terms of use here at SI... is that clear enough for you?>>

Nope, GZ, never has been. Because SI's TOS are extremely vague. And I have seen many posters use the very same words (which are harmless to begin with, basically) that others are 'punished' for using.

You, for example, classify what words as 'filthy?' Make us a list here, if you would.

Then see if SI TOS agrees with you.

I still don't understand your definition of a 'filthy' word.

Can it be laundered or dry-cleaned?

I suspect that your list might need to be 'gender-designated.'

In that some 'filthy' -- whatever that means -- words would be acceptably uttered indeed, in a 'public forum' -- by men, for example.

You RWEs find the 'spectacle' of women using 'filthy words' unacceptable ... and completely intolerable, now, ain't that right, GZ?

Because RWEs believe that women really are not 'real human beings,' is my perception. Women are permitted to be madonnas or whores ... nothing in between ... populating the planet solely as ornaments for the 'amusement' of their superior male counterparts.

LOL.

Hey again, GZ ... I was wondering why you and 'e-Bill' were here ...

... all yesterday and this morning so I wandered over just now to your RWE thread ... and, sure enough, as I suspected, it's deader'n hell over there, ain't it? No action.

I saw this post of yours there ...

Message 15238420

I suspect that you're tempted to start your own moderated political thread so that you'll be the only one on it.

Would be a 'public forum' for your views only.

Because you really don't want anybody else to speak to you. On any subject.

Just an observation.

Good luck with that new thread.

Best Regs,

'b-i-a'
