It’s understood that these applications block more than they need to. So you just go back and whitelist sites that shouldn’t be blocked. We just changed from Blue Coat to Websense. I am certain they TRIED to copy over all sites that were previously requested to be unblocked in Blue Coat…ehhhh…but it didn’t happen. We were flooded with complaints. “I was able to access this site for the past year. What gives??” ---

Fuck off yourself you vile piece of shit. > [@Clothahump](#): > > Fuck off, EP. Quit trying to put words in my mouth, especially when you are so wrong that you’re not even in the same zip code as correct. Who do you imagine is putting words in your mouth? Do you not remember this? > [@Clothahump](#): > > First the IRS, now this. It’s getting to the point that schools aren’t even HIDING the fact that they’re liberal indoctrination centers anymore. You have proven once again you are totally immune to the truth. You have a psychotic level of disconnect with reality. Either that. or as I have posited previously. you’re simply a lying fucking sack of shit with no interest in reality and a pathological commitment to your inner narrative you know to be false. ---

Does that mean saying “[fuck you and variants](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=508858)” is kosher again nowadays? 'Cause I want a piece of that action! In other news, Clothy, can you not take a moment to see your political loyalty for what it is? You’re a smart guy, I think, from other threads; but you really wouldn’t know that from your contributions here. Go find some genuinely stupid stuff, not just mundane policies you disagree with, or things that look bad but are really just coincidental or accidental. Use the “[Stupid Republican Idea of the Day](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=511831)” thread as a model. Some good stuff in there. ---

I PM’d a mod and I was told they take a very narrow view of what is not allowed. “Fuck Off!” = OK “Fuck Off and Die” = warning It’s clear as mud, but as long as we can get away with “Fuck Off!” I say we use it whenever possible.

Do not criticize the Luminous Ones, for they are subtle, and quick to anger. That said, few things annoy me more than “creepy” music in scary movies that try to copy _Carmina Burana_, but screw it up. Minor keys aren’t necessarily scary, sometimes they are simply annoying, So, fuck off, fake Orff!
