Well that means a_ray will not be able to reply to people he diagrees with. And others will have a harder time understanding him as you just removed half his vocabulary.
Does this include analogues like "felgercarb!" And what about insults like, "That guy spends most of his time having nose-to-nose arguments with E. Coli"? And, of course, there is the question of lard (shortening): FFS, WTF, OMFG, et al.
Anon@8:32, Nonsense, I can still refer to you as an ignorant foodtube, and imbecile, an ignoramus, a clownshoe, a tool, a bot, a denizen of the portion of the IQ curve that is shallow and gently rising. That's just for starters. I'm sure your idiocy could inspire me to new creativity as well.
"Are "Republican" and "right winger" curse words?"
To you, yes. All box makers label people, it makes it easy for them to elevate one's opinion of one's self and dismissing arguments is much easier when you do not have to deal with the substance, just throw away the box.
Gee, Anon@3:58, try actually giving some thoughts that aren't just regurgitated talking points and maybe we can have a conversation. Oh, wait, thought is not what you guys do, is it? It might take you off message, right, clownshoe?
We do not wish to censor anybody. Rather, we endeavor to promote civility and elevate the discussion, using the measured tones befitting academic discourse.
So, instead of saying "my opponent is a M***F***er", instead you might say,
"My opponent is, of course, entitled to his opinion. He is not, however, entitled to be a know-it-all, a smart pants, a dingbat, a wiseguy, a tiresome whiner, a psycho, or a BOMBASTIC, KNOW-NOTHING J E R K !!!!"
UPDATE: The spambots got clever so the verification is back. Apologies
Some of the regulars here are having trouble telling the anonymice apart. Please add some distinguishing name to your comment such as Mickey, Minnie, Mighty, or Fred.
What about coarse words?

ReplyDelete[obscene gerund] [anatomically explicit epithet]!
ReplyDeleteWhat about 'abort'? I always thought that one had a kind of nasty ring to it. As opposed to 'nominal'.
ReplyDeleteCurses! Foiled again !

a_ray,
ReplyDeleteYou are so predictable. It makes for pure entertainment, pulling your strings.
99% of the time all you do is attack other commentors, harldy ever contributing your own thoughts on any given topic.
Thanks for yet another lol moment.

ReplyDeleteTo you, yes. All box makers label people, it makes it easy for them to elevate one's opinion of one's self and dismissing arguments is much easier when you do not have to deal with the substance, just throw away the box.

ReplyDeleteYour answer seems a bit recursive.
(The joke didn't occur to me until after I'd written it.)

ReplyDelete"Talking Points","Clownshoe","you guys".
ReplyDeleteYawn.
A_ray has obviosly spent too much time in Dilbert's space.
An don't forget to censor the sidebar cartoons !
ReplyDeleteWe do not wish to censor anybody. Rather, we endeavor to promote civility and elevate the discussion, using the measured tones befitting academic discourse.
ReplyDeleteSo, instead of saying "my opponent is a M***F***er", instead you might say,
"My opponent is, of course, entitled to his opinion. He is not, however, entitled to be a know-it-all, a smart pants, a dingbat, a wiseguy, a tiresome whiner, a psycho, or a BOMBASTIC, KNOW-NOTHING J E R K !!!!"
Clearly, this elevates the discussion.
I'm feeling elevated already!!
Keep it up and Mom Rabett will punch you out.
