Retarded cuss filtering

[Captain Caveman]

He's got quite the mind.



I like to use the term retard to addresss retardism.

The problem is with psychology, very few like to hear the truth.

Child/adult, partially yes.

Theres a partial of everything going on.

Child/adult, partially yes.

Theres a partial of everything going on.

For analysis, there is a partial to everything since pathology returns a predictive possibility rather than a supposed human-like absolute certainty.

And therein lies the rub.

The demise of the forum.

People have been talking about the demise of the forum ever since I've been here.

There are limits to the lived experience though, so since you're the one to choose those limits, you should be alright, as opposed to being fine... which can often be transacted to mean:

F(ucked up)
I(nsecure)
N(eurotic)
E(motional)

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.

Needs more inductance.

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!

Especially considering the filter is a total fail still missing tons of words while filtering out a word routinely used on family sitcoms. You know, the word referring to a female dog in heat most often used by people to refer to someone who complains a lot.

The irony is I see tons of words still being posted because there are so many variants of root words, I finally began saving all the ones I happen to see as final proof that whoever dreamed up this latest debacle sure didn't think it through very well.

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

Well, with people like you here, that will never happen.

 

[toobfreak]

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

What was that?

I resemble that remark.

When my neighbor gets liquored up and starts cussing-out the squirrels in his yard, I just put on headphones so I don't have to listen.
That's a filter,

Actually IMO, a better filter would be one where the USER selected whether they'd like any particular word(s) blocked, and they would simply add them to their list, kind of like adding phone numbers you want blocked to your phone.

That way, we could all express ourselves as we choose and no one is forced to read it.

Have you ever read Geoffrey Chaucer? From centuries ago?

And that language was part of classical education curriculum.

It's USMB's site so it's their rules. It's that simple because that's how it works in life.

Yep, so they should stop asking us for donations then, to a site where we have no input, no say. As it stands, you can donate to USMB yet you have no idea what it will be used for because the site might go off and enact any rule, they could close tomorrow.
