Censor question.
It looks like *** is now a censored word.
What about goddamn?
Personally, I do not find a s s offensive (and I am as prudish as they come on the forums), but the other sure is.

What is wrong with donkeys?
Personally, I don't find "goddamn" offensive: cursing will always be with us.... I believe that "bloody" derives from "By Our Lady".
[Edit: the "bloody" etymology <i>is</i> suspect but I like it anyway!]

Plus, I would bet that there are many on the religious side that have a bigger problem with gdamn than with many other words. Personally, I find it much more offensive than the F-bomb, but that's just me.

I don't believe ass is offensive either in most of it's uses. However, when it's used in thread titles, it can be offensive.
The use of goddamn is another issue and has no bearing on the use of ass, IMO. However, it's a valid issue on it's own.

Yup. But, if members are caught doing this, they may just find themselves in trouble too. So, I wouldn't recommend it.

Yes, I see he did. I'll be calling his local produce market shortly so that an appropriate punishment can be imposed.
Bad Randy!
