Hey! It has been about 2 weeks since the mods/promters from the PD have posted some lame-a$$ poll. Maybe they are finally getting the idea that real adults don't need prompting to have conversaitons and discussions. Or arguments. Now if they can just turn off that 1d10tic word censor that makes circumlocutions like that necessary, or takes the first three letters out of ***an, and let us just self censor, we can have real discussions. Or arguments. Adults do these things. We get passionate about ideas. We might resort to the occasional objectionable word. Real adults deal with it, move on, and don't force themselves to be offended. Maybe the PD can hire some real adults to oversee these fora.

I'd like to see them totally unmoderated, but there are some j3rks who will insist on abusing any fully open forum and use it to spew truely objectionable garbage. So, we do need a ref standing by to red card those types.

I guess that someone at the PD changed my posting status. I seem to be getting caught in the 'must be reviewed' queue.
I just read the rules for posting:

Posting Rules
When using Pressdemocrat.com, please do not post material that:

- contains vulgar, profane, abusive, racist or hateful language or expressions, epithets or slurs, text, photographs or illustrations in poor taste, inflammatory attacks of a personal, racial or religious nature.

- is defamatory, threatening, disparaging, grossly inflammatory, false, misleading, fraudulent, inaccurate, unfair, contains gross exaggeration or unsubstantiated claims, violates the privacy rights of any third party, is unreasonably harmful or offensive to any individual or community. violates any right of Pressdemocrat.com or any third party.

Wow. Sounds like a lot of what the left posts about conservatives will be prohibited.

OK PD, (Heather, are you listening?)if you are going to censor out objectionable words, then by damn, you need to set your bloody auto censor to take out words like racist, redneck, cracker, homophobe, misogynist, hill billy, hay seed, and all the rest of the hate speach that the oh, so tolerant, diverse, and inclusive facilibs hurl at anyone to the right of Marx or anyone who dares to disagree with them. I just had two posts held because I used something that triggered your P/C content detector. I'm guessing that the word I used that triggered it is the proper name for the nation whos capital used to know as Edo.

Can you turn that friggin' thing off?
