    Does this mean I can now refer to The S*n as The Sun?

    You know, the one bizarre instance I can remember, was on a chatroom, someone said say 'yog' backwards, so I said 'goy' and I got autobanned for using explicit language.

    :confused: Never heard it before in my life!

    I think it's a good step forwards, though there is way too much swearing on the boards :p people should learn to express their thoughts without having to use nasty words.

    My favourite insult at the minute, is in fact pooface. :D

    Goy's the Jewish term for a non-Jew. In hebrew it doesn't seem controversial, but in English it is (apparently)

    If we're using favourite insult's 'fuckwit' sounds much better than 'pooface' ;)

    Oh. I didn't realise there was something else for me to be offended by :p.

    I like pooface because it's gleefully immature and satisfyingly descriptive. Poooooofaaaaceee.

    When I went on chatrooms all those years ago I just used English swear words like tosser and twat. Of course if they were Americans they had no idea what i was on about. lol.

    However discussions about the censorship of words continually left me in a difficult position.

    So despite promoting the idea that words and offensive terms should be challenged, rather than banned, I was in a position of having to defend why two words were banned and others weren't. Although I tried, it was a position I couldn't support.

    I`m curious as to why you tried to defend it.
