Wishy washy? Eh, I suppose it’s good that you’ve at least started reading them. Insofar as expressing my opinion via email is ‘voting’, yes, I did that, but not really in any expectation of change, only because we were asked to voice our opinions, if any, on the matter and it seemed the honest thing to do. Likewise, as I said in Post #58, I’ve been posting here not to complain or try to initiate change, but to try to explain that the reasons people might have for wanting rated thread titles are not necessarily as simple as being oversensitive. I guess it’s taking longer than I thought. ---

[QUOTE=Bryan Ekers] Well, they’re wusses, too. [/QUOTE] And the powers that be agree with you. Isn’t that enough? Why must you hound Mangetout, one the board’s best contributors, just to piss on him with your famous ascerbic wit? You’re acting like a Republican on the morning of November 5, 1994. Just shut the fuck up. ---

Interesting, people who aren’t oversensitive are also wusses. Very interesting. ---

[QUOTE=Liberal] And the powers that be agree with you. Isn’t that enough? [/QUOTE] What’s also interesting is that _I too, am happy that it’s resolved in a way that seems satisfactory to the majority_. I’m actually genuinely glad that people who want to say ‘fuck’ in thread titles can continue to say ‘fuck’ in thread titles, although It’s probably wussy of me to say or think that. ---

If that’s what you call “hounding” (several messages typed in a single thread in a single logon session) then you just disqualify yourself from any credible use of the word. ---

[QUOTE=Bryan Ekers] Why not just quietly get some censoring software installed on your own computer that can automatically replace “fuck” with something innocuous like “bunny”, thus not advertising your general pansy-ness to the membership? [/QUOTE] So this thread would become **I object to the _bunny_ announcement at the top of the _bunny_ BBQ Pit board.**? I don’t know about you but I am offended at the thought of bunny BBQ! That’s revolting and disgusting! A sautéed bunny is OK, though. ---

I think it sounds ruder than ‘fuck’. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-object-to-the-fucking-announcement-at-the-top-of-the-fucking-bbq-pit-board/394371.md?page=4)
