Retarded cuss filtering

[The Duke]

Have you ever read Geoffrey Chaucer? From centuries ago?

And that language was part of classical education curriculum.

Canterbury Tales, yes.
It wasn't in my curriculum, might be an English school thing, but I have that.
Aesop's Fables, Grimm's Fairy Tales. I have a decent library.
Did not recognize the author's name.

Read this, Duke.

And just think, the posters could get around the censorship by using these old vulgar terms.

"The Miller's Tale" from Geoffrey Chaucer's
The Canterbury Tales is renowned for its bawdy, "filthy" language and subject matter, intentionally designed to contrast with the noble "Knight's Tale" that precedes it. The Miller, described as a drunk and vulgar character, tells a fabliau—a comedic, often obscene tale—focusing on themes of lust, infidelity, and bodily functions.

Key Elements of Vulgarity

• Sexual Content: The plot hinges on a young wife, Alison, cheating on her elderly husband, John the carpenter, with a student named Nicholas. The language used to describe their quick hookup is blunt and scandalous for its time.
• Bodily Functions: The climax of the tale features a "fart in the face" (a "fart that sounded like thunder") which acts as a comedic turning point.
• Graphic Imagery: The story concludes with a scene involving a "hot iron in the butt" and a "burning bum".
• Obscene Language: Chaucer uses Middle English terms that were quite explicit for his era, such as "queynte" (often interpreted as a direct reference to female genitalia, synonymous with a vulgar "C-word") and blunt discussions of "country matters".

You can't say ****** Ford?

Work around on the censor.

 

[The Duke]

Work around on the censor.

Should not have to. It's total garbage. It's censoring legitimate things,
like Eisenhower and Operation *******, for instance.
Censoring Brittanica links, even.
Literally censoring history. I'm not going to get onboard with that.
Who know what else it's going to censor?
It's not good in ary a way.

Work around on the censor.

Use the Chaucer words. Written in Old English.

I'm gonna go have to check that out for the lulz.
Oh, you got to get into a certain mode for an extended period of time and just do all that at once. Yeah, I remember stuff like that. Did not see any cussing on the 3 pages skimmed. If you say they're in there, I'll take your word for it.
I might need to watch some "Little Lord Fauntleroy" to get primed to bore through that!
Yeah, you gotta be in a zone for that stuff. It's neat! Most people can get into that zone, too.
It was not required reading in the US, but I remember that stuff from a long time ago. Way before adulthood. Before 12, probably.

See if it works.

***** and ***** and further more ***** ~S~

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

I seem to be living in your head recently, so my intuitions have been very good at hurting your feelings.

An observation that you're wrong .999% of the time is not that.

Should we be looking at plan B?

Actually, for all its flaws, USMB is probably the best deal out there in giving people the latitude to speak their minds.

I also occasionally post on "DebatePolitics". They have much worse moderators (which to my view is, unnecessarily strict) and their functionality is where USMB was six years ago (not very good).

So I'm not thrilled with the new Cuss filters, but still better than what else is out there.

I’m not arguing that.
If they decide to close the forum, there’s nothing we can do about it.

IDK, but skye and CrusaderFrank are not the same people I've seen posting here for years now, it's the same person, and I think they hacked some accounts.

Clearly, because nothing else has changed in the last year

Or unlike other conservatives, they are people of principle.

Trump ran on the rejection of neocon wars in the Middle East.

Something a lot of people - even some who weren't Republicans - agreed with.

And then Bibi gave him his marching orders, and we are in a war that he can't really justify.

If MAGA wasn't such a cult, Frank and Skye wouldn't be the only ones objecting.

The posting manner of CrusaderFrank has done a 180 degree turn in the last year, boy. You ain't Frank.
