Everybody picks on the Jews and have done since early history, they no longer turn the other cheek. Feckin’ arabs can’t trust any of them.

As a long time 'Bird' member...
I would like a valid answer.
That word was banned from use on bird for at least as long as I’ve been a member, not sure if it’s to do with the previous service providers or what but I know that some members didn’t feel comfortable reading it.

Ok... but, others are allowed to post dick arse & tit pics & the like.
What about all the Irish jokes on here?
I'm sure are friends over the channel could take offense.
Load of bollox if you ask me.

Missing your point I'm afraid??
I pay my subs just like you.
No reason given, but obviously some moderator has blanked it out & then hidden behind the badge. I also used the 'F' word, but that remains in the paragraph untouched.
I would like an explanation.
Not hard, is it?

Didn't realise you didn't blanked the word.

Oi! What happened to freedom of speech? This word is in the English dictionary.

While most blokes are quite happy with the word, an awful lot of ladies, even those who otherwise swear like troopers,do not like to see or hear it
It has never been allowed since even before the enforced split from IXXRA

A secondary issue is this section of the forum is open to anyone ( including google bots ) to read and the use of that one particular word can push our rankings way way down

It was not me, though to be honest if I had seen it I would have done
A member not seen for a couple of years often posted up pictorial jokes with the word in them
I used to have to spend a lot of time each week editing the jpegs to hide the word

What is REALLY odd is the automatic censoring never picked it up.. It usually auto changes that word to ladyparts
I have just rebooted that software so here is a tester

Hardley Moving ownership requires a leaning towards being a ladyparts

ogr1 Jaws it was me that edited the post. I ticked the ‘tell poster why’ (or whatever it is called box) and advised ‘you know why’.

OK, as I see it....
A prejudged committee of one has assumed my wording (as others have stated) commonly referring to my quote as 'lady parts'. Fair enough, but it's not.
The English dictionary also defines this word as an 'unpleasant or stupid person' of which, was my real intention in the sentence. To assume that I was referring to 'women's genitals' is not very bright.
If you have read the whole paragraph that relates to the link that I provided, then you would conclude that using this word (as you assumed) has been taken out of context. A very narrow minded decision by Mr Beaker & probably a certain amount of delusional chivalry thrown in the mix.
Anyhow, let's get some things cleared up.
1, I do not frequent this site to be policed or judged by the likes of you.
2, AI needs updating to protect ALL
existing & future snowflakes.
3, Selective editing based on an assumption is bang out of order, when so many other post's could be classed as offensive & surely this is down to the individuals interpretation.
Seriously considering closing my account on here.
Yes, I'm that pissed off.
