This is pretty funny

To Tired of Waiting and everyone else: Using obscenities is not allowed on this family friendly forum, even if you change a letter to a punctuation mark. And just because a word appears in the dictionary does not necessarily make it acceptable here.

So using **** is not acceptable but Masshole is? The root word is the same.

I'll just drop this whole thing and let those who can't noodle out what I have been saying continue on their ignorant ways if you let them.

The word you mentioned above (and I changed to asterisks) may not be acceptable here but I don't necessarily consider it an obscenity. In the post that I removed the other day you listed several words that were REAL obscenities (including the C word!) but you got them through by changing some letters to punctuation marks to defeat my automatic screening. You did it again in this post by adding a punctuation mark to a word that the forum would normally block.

Intentionally defeating the forum's filter after being asked not to normally gets you on the moderation list. I won't do that yet if you'll just cut it out!

By the way, I'm allowing this thread about M'oles because it does have some relevance to the Lakes Region and it's visitors and is not just an expletive.

And that's how I feel the folks who use the word defeat your system. As I showed earlier the Oxford Dictionary defines it as :"A piece of “coarse slang” defined as “a term of contempt for a native or inhabitant of the state of Massachusetts,” The same basic definition it gives for the root word. Which is far different than the names others have mentioned for other states.

I also stated earlier I was going to drop this issue and let those who can't noodle out what I have been saying continue on their ignorant ways.

This will really drive TOW crazy but click on the Mass link on the web site. It's even funnier than the NH one.

I'm working my way through all the states I've lived in. They're like those 'roast' shows.

I once had someone tell me that the term "chink in the armor" was racist.

We now return you to the offended, already in progress.
