Your remark has nothing whatsoever to do with the comment I made. Is there any possiblity in the future of your replying to a humorous post without overly defensive remarks? If not, please let me know so I don't hold my breath waiting.

I know quite a few S words but I don't think I'm allowed to use them in this forum. ;-) Seriously though, I think Shades has a point. The rules are fairly loose on this board and he doesn't ask much of us. When we ignore his comments, we make more work for him.
I still don't know why two specific words are considered more offensive than others that were mentioned.

Isn't "crap" a variant of the "S" word, and therefore banned from this board? Shame on you, Bond.

Shoot was another one that was on the list for a while too.
What about 'shut up'? That was another s word banned in my household growing up.
The other F word that was banned was fart.

Yeah, Yeah, yeah ;P
Seriously I can handle the language, it's the excessive quoting that's a pain for the moderators (a.k.a. me).

We couldn't say butt either. Or fart. Now my mother is shocked to hear my 22 month old say both. Proudly. (My 5 year old uses them, too, but I guess that's not as shocking). At least I didn't teach 'em "ass", which is my preferred word for that area. We drew the line there as a concession to polite society.
I may be going to hell in a bucket, babe / But at least I'm enjoying the ride.
