Retarded cuss filtering

[The Duke]

What kind of PC garbage in 2026 is this?
It's not doing anything but limiting free expression, seriously.
It truly is silly, IMO.
Stifling free speech is anti-American!

 

[Harry Dresden]

i would like to see the admin who did this come on here and tell us why?....

 

[Godboy]

Yeah, this stupid sh*t is gay as f*ck! What, are we f*cking children? Who is the pathetic little b*tch who did this?

^Yep, that. "Oh! It makes USMB more classy."
No it doesn't. It makes it NewSpeakish.
I never even heard a cuss word til I was like 6 and a dirty hippie said "shit" in front of me and my relative about killed him at a gas station somewhere in Florida.

Brownells must have bought the site.

That obviously warped your character for life!

It let me know who my people were, I'll tell you that. That ain't no "shit".

I don't get that.
Brownells seems to me to be where one would go if they want to pay more for a gun just for why not.

I suspect they are trying to cut down on the swearing to make the site more attractive to advertisers

That's nice, honey. Your intuitions have been proven much less than accurate historically. Not quite the opposite, but almost.

ARFCOM members (or former members) will understand.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

Can I still say snatch, beaver, coochie, muff, cooter, poon, or hoo-ha?

Hey, looks like I can!


I'm good.

More classy. Iol.

Show that to LSlop.

In fact, a cuss-filter wouldn't stifle free speech ... it would merely give the receiver the option of not having to read it.

You can say whatever you like ... no one on Earth is obligated to listen.

That simply doesn't ring true when there's a cuss filter applied.
No, you cannot say whatever the **** you like without it being retardedly ******* censored.

River Cooter?

Or Cooter Davenport?

A filter, by definition, removes unwanted impurities from a source medium before it arrives at the destination.

So, the sender may say what the please, it's only the receiver that doesn't have to read it.

Free speech is not impurities, dude. False analogy, or "Post Hoc" fallacy.

"This fallacy gets its name from the Latin phrase “post hoc, ergo propter hoc,” which translates as “after this, therefore because of this.”


"Definition: Assuming that because B comes after A, A caused B. Of course, sometimes one event really does cause another one that comes later—for example, if I register for a class, and my name later appears on the roll, it’s true that the first event caused the one that came later. But sometimes two events that seem related in time aren’t really related as cause and event. That is, correlation isn’t the same thing as causation.


Examples: “President Jones raised taxes, and then the rate of violent crime went up. Jones is responsible for the rise in crime.” The increase in taxes might or might not be one factor in the rising crime rates, but the argument hasn’t shown us that one caused the other.


Tip: To avoid the post hoc fallacy, the arguer would need to give us some explanation of the process by which the tax increase is supposed to have produced higher crime rates. And that’s what you should do to avoid committing this fallacy: If you say that A causes B, you should have something more to say about how A caused B than just that A came first and B came later."

Have you ever read Geoffrey Chaucer? From centuries ago?

And that language was part of classical education curriculum.
