Disclaimer: Just for reference, this thread is about the seemingly haphazard censoring of the word beginning with "C" and synonymous with "poop." I was not seriously trying to be a dillweed about it, nor was I trying to bypass the filters because I wanted to be daring. The whole letter-substitution thing was the first thing that came to mind, and I'm sorry if that qualifies as bypassing the filters. I hope that anyone else who reads this now recognizes that the intent of this thread was a stimulating discussion about censors which might hopefully result in us being allowed to type the afore-mentioned C word, not a vessel in which Mods are to be annoyed. If this matters, also note that this is the first word that I, a lover of all slang words, have thought did not deserve a ban.
---------------------------------------------------------
I want to be able to say ["crip" with an "a" instead of an "i"] again. There is no way to replace that wonderful, magical word with another word without sounding as utterly uncool as one of those little kids who picked up casual swearing but can't swear whenever he wants because his mommy is always sitting right next to him. This is especially vexing given that I can still say I had a crappy time, and that I damn everyone who caused me to have such a crappy time, but I can't say what those damn people who made me have such a crappy time are full of (here's a hint: ["crip" with an "a" instead of an "i"]).
I'll forfeit that banning ["hill" with an "e" instead of an "i"] was probably a stellar idea (I use that quite often, even on here, but I can see how that would offend many a Pokegym-surfing Pokemon parent), but banning "crip" with an "a" instead of an "i" just seems a little bit too unnecessary. There are numerous times in just the past month when a cleverly inserted ["crip" with an "a" instead of an "i"] would have cinched an argument or added zest and zing to a cutting remark, but I had to change it because crap makes me sound like my mom somehow broke into my house and is now watching me type. Plus, most kids these days don't even know what crap is. Heck, i only know it as meat that goes wonderfully with cheese, mayo and bread. Yummy, crap.
Now, if pressure to censor ["crip" with an "a" instead of an "i"] came from parents or some sort of organization, I completely understand. If I was in your position, I'd definitely side with people who can sue me over lovable, immature adults who watch too much Family Guy and enjoy racy humor, but if y'all just decided to censor it because you wanted to, could you please (pretty please) change it back?
(Please note that I meant no disrespect by posting this, and that if I do not get what I want, I won't try to bypass the filters or anything like that.)
Thanks in advance.
