Since when?
Originally titled: RO: Rebecca Watson of Skepchick, You are a cunt
The OP should have thought of that before he titled the thread, and the other posters should realize that very bad words are not forbidden on this board, neither in posts nor in titles.
What exactly are you complaining about, Frank?
:dubious:
The editing of “very bad words” out of thread titles.
Did that help?
Is this a new era of arbitrary censorship? Will this have a chilling effect on free discourse here on the Straight [Slang Term for Illegal Narcotics]? Stay tuned!
There was a thread about NSFW thread titles years back. I think the consensus wasn’t to sanitize titles, but that posters should not be too graphic.
Not sure where this example falls.
Poor decision that caves to the offenderati.
I thought “cunt” was a banned word here anyway? Or no?
Requests by the OP to edit their title are known to be heeded at mod discretion.
I applaud this decision.

No. It is only barred as a term to use about another poster.
Only if you use it as an epithet at another poster. In other words, it’s not a banned word, it’s a banned name!
Ah, I see. Thanks, I was under the impression I couldn’t use it at all.
I feel so free now! Cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt! Whhee haa!
Thanks. That felt good.
You don’t have to be a dick about it.
Don’t oppress my freedom!
:dubious:
c-nt, dick. They go perfectly together!
(I assumed it was a joke).
joke
jōk/Submit
noun
1.
a thing that someone says to cause amusement or laughter, esp. a story with a funny punchline.
“If it bends, it’s funny. If it breaks, it’s not funny.” --Woody Allen, Crimes and Misdemeanors
and thats especially true with dicks.
I take it those are all the times our Bangkok correspondent had to hold himself back from using that term on these boards, and he finally was able to let it out.
But yeah, the thread author is among those who requests the editing, that should be cool. I’m not on the side of the eradication of this particular word altogether, but if the author wishes to bend to audience opinion it is their choice.
What, there’s now an orthodox sect that worships her as their deity?
We now return you to the dicking about already in progress…
Mazel tov!
Really, very funny!
FWIW I have been advised “If it has tires or testicles, it’s going to give you trouble.” So assuming that is the case …
That’s another joke.
