Certain people don't want to see certain words... that is why we have custom filtering. If we allow someone to type dvck instead of duck... it defeats the entire purpose. AND most importantly, it's an asshole thing to do.

Why is it an asshole thing? Because that poster is taking it upon themselves to FORCE someone else to see their words when that other person has gone to the trouble to use the system we have in place to avoid them.

That FORCING behavior is what pisses me off. It's inconsiderate and douchey.

If "bad words" bothered me I wouldn't allow them at all.. they don't bother me... but I have the decency to respect OTHER PEOPLE who may feel differently.

This concept isn't hard, you just have to think OUTSIDE your own sensibilities for a second and it should be clear why this bothers me.

TO ME, circumventing the filter is far worse than ANY petty personal attacks. If you are being attacked personally you have the option to ignore a user or man up and attack back.

If you had any idea how to operate a successful community at all, there would be at least 43 regular users of TexansPlanet.com but instead, you gave it the old college try for at least 9 days and then you gave up. So let the smart people run this site and you just keep raping unconscious girls you managed to drag back to your apartment, predator.
