DrF: Come to the Dark Side. Join us. And, no, I haven’t gotten any e-mail. I checked the button that says not to show my e-mail address, and not even to allow mods and admins to contact me in e-mail. Gaudere said: > [@](#): > > I’m glad we don’t have the ability to use all those silly caution signs, question marks, lightbulbs, etc. They just clutter. That’s why we decided not to include 'em. We (the mods and admins) tested that version and said “Yuck!” Glad to see we were right. 🙂 (Whoops! There’s one now!) Andros – I know. They \*'d out “sucking”! I guess we can’t talk about sucking chest wounds, or sucking the poison out of a snake bite… Jeez… ---

Andros, on reading \< ahem \> Nightmare’s messages, it seems you might have been talking about the “porno” part of “pornographer” that got \*'d out. I was talking about a different thread. You can type “pedophile” and “homosexual” but not “lesbian.” Hmmmm… ---

Oh, and I should add: RTF – you’re in trouble! Nyah! Nyah! Nyah! You posted over the 75 message limit. Naughty, naughty. ---

**David** , I see you posted again on the Alien Life thread over there. Did you catch this gem from **drewcosten**? > [@](#): > > …I believe that the ones (UFO’s) that are not natural phenomena or government-related are probably demonic in origin to deceive us in some way… Well, that certainly clears that up. * * * Fighting my own ignorance since 1957. ---

Yeah, Gaudere, I was trying to figure out how the heck their creation/evolution thread flew to 50 messages in one day. Then I saw that half the messages were smileys. That’s goin’ a bit overboard, I think – especially when threads are limited to 75 msgs. ---

No, David, I _was_ talking about the “sucking” bit. Sheesh. I can’t talk about people sucking all the humor out of Christianity, either. ---

> [@](#): > > They \*'d out “sucking”! I guess we can’t talk about sucking chest wounds, or sucking the poison out of a snake bite… Jeez… It’s contest time! Who can get \*'d the most times on the _Left Behind_ board without actually swearing before Friday, November 29 at 4:00 Central time? I will personally buy the winner dinner during the [Teeming Millions Convention 2000](http://www.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum4/HTML/002619.html) or at such other time as can be arranged. If no one on the other board suspects it’s a contest, I’ll buy dinner for the runner-up, too. Remember, no trolling, and no swearing. I want to see references to the great sucking sound, your adorable pussy cat and that sort of thing. Good luck! ---

Nor can you talk about a lesbian sucking scene in a porno. All you’d get would be: “A \*\*\*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\*\*\* scene in a \*\*\*\*\*.” Wow, talk about taking this thread to Cuba… ---

Manhattan, I’ll just start a thread, as a newbie, to get a list of all words that get \*'d out. 🙂 My pussy cat likes to suck on chicken breasts (just guessing about the “breast” one). ---

Er, how’d you test THAT one? I imagine that’s in too many words. Ok, I can’t think of any right this second, but it probably is. ---

Several people have mentioned looking things up in the message board “FAG” when they mean “FAQ.” ---

Hmmm. I just posted something that might finally clue them in. Ghoti attacked pretty much all of science (he was sort of kidding, I think, but the underlying theme was there), so I asked if we should stop reinterpreting scientific theories altogether. ---

Ha! I became a “Veteran.” I figured that “Veteran” and “Rookie” were similar to the designations used here. And it doesn’t matter how many messages you enter unless you start a thread of your own and get a response. So I did. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/for-david-b-the-good-doctor-and-others-who-are-knowledgable-about-creation-debate/17218.md?page=8) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/for-david-b-the-good-doctor-and-others-who-are-knowledgable-about-creation-debate/17218.md?page=10)
