Now read on, if you can really be arsed, erm, a-rsed , that is.
Yeah I can appreciate a joke, but whoeve messed the word the word filter so that every time we type a certain four–letter word (beginning with “aâ€), it comes out as “scrapheapâ€, should’ve thought through the implications more carefully.
This board is supposed to support the principle of “Freedom of Speech†isn’t it? Where’s the freedom of speech if our words can and will be edited, by persons unknown, on a whim? And if this was really meant to be “only a joke†why did somebody erase the whole of my two-line comment about it? which somebody found to be funny enough to quote. (No, I won’t say who quoted it or where. If you want to erase the quotation, too, go hunt for it)
I just hope that Caesar Heap gets the joke. I don’t like being forcibly conscripted into what some might call a bullying campaign against him. I hardly know the guy. All I really know about him is that he recently started making allegations against Lucifer (another of those “interesting coincidences"?) .And now, suddenly, he’s the laughing stock of the entire board, apparently.
I don’t know how this works, but I suspect that if someone tries to fix this, we’ll get all existing appearances of the word “scrapheap†appearing as “ars eâ€, which would be even more insulting.
Not funny at all, when you think about it.
Bugger it. It occurs to me that I’ll probably have to copy this post onto another board (Fractalus, perhaps, where I trust that my freedom of speech really will be respected) if I want it to stand, unmodified. What a joke.
