. . . though I hear there may be some of the real stuff on the way.

Nichts fair drawin' oot, a month after the shortest day now.

..... and about bloody time too.
Now can you do something about the sweary filter that tries to stop us using perfectly good words like bastard (what else can one call a very rough file?) and a wheen of others that are correct terms - is there really any difference, apart from a Father Ted nostalgia, between "feck" and "fuck"?

Why do you feel the urge to swear?

Which part of my carpet do you find amusing?

[marisca]

My complaint is the indiscriminate nature of the filter with its inability to recognise the context in which words are used, not that I wish to use profane or blasphemous language. Innocuous but specific descriptions like love child file, corker splice; common sayings like "excrement happens"; the use of the perfectly good word scottish excrement to describe human waste all get bastardised by your filter, though the effect is sometimes humorous.

If my use of the intensifier "bloody" offends, I apologise, though in my defence "it has been surmised that bloody is related to the Dutch bloote, in the adverbial sense of entire, complete, pure, naked, that we have transformed into bloody". But then I still cannot see that referring to a policeman as a member of the proletariat is anything other than a complement.

Your reference to "carpet" confuses me - is this an example of your filter at work?

I like the snowflakes

What snowflakes?

What snowflakes?

Careful what you wish for . . .

I am not aware of any context-sensitive bad worlds filter installed on any forum software.

The strange substitutions are an attempt to get away from the rather dull and repetitive ****

There are enough hassles inherent in running a forum without having to constantly monitor it for unacceptable language.

My mother told me not to swear.

Ruins the iambic quadrameter or whatever a bit doesn't it.
Seems silly when everyone knows what the author wrote anyway.
