    I know, I feel bad. One of the favorite things I used to say back in the frumpin’ day was “Dude, it’s the internet, you can cuss here”.

    Then slowly over the years, site after site after site after site after site started implementing rules against profanity. Not even in a somewhat sane, reasonable, or consistent way either. Which made it all the worse.

    And now, annoying as it is for me personally, I just bite my t0%#$#gue and move on.

    Still find it incredibly ridiculous that you can get banned from a certain R-word site for using the R-word, but calling someone or referring to them as a “cocksucker” is apparently perfectly acceptable.

        Interesting how similar my case was. I picked up a 72 hour ban from that site for using the word “retard” in the context of providing advice on how to retard (aka slow) the growth of mold.
