And please: stop this anti-american crap, Doc. I could find a huge list of danish stuff I don't like. And I'm German.
(NOTE: PLEASE remember that YOU brought this up again, yourself, ok?)
You have got to be kidding me, right?
So you cannot use the word "p.e.n.i.s" unless youre a surgeon??
Ok, that's pretty far out IMO.
You may believe words like these are dangerous, and people on a board like this can't be trusted with the liberty of using them.
Whatever you think about the word "p.e.n.i.s" or other medical terms I believe I have a right to use them. I dont even think Amnesty international has third world countries with dictatorships on their list that ban that word.
And I mean this with no irony or sarchasm.
"Stop this anti-american crap"?
Sorry if I dont just accept anything the US does. I really love the US on some points, and really think they are going the wrong way on others. Their moral witchhunt, for one. I appreciate you disagree with me, but please dont try to control what I should think, feel or express. Thank you.
You may have things about the Danes you dont like, and you may feel like expressing that. That's fine by me. Seriously.
I'm sure a lot of Danish people have an inherited animosity against some german things and culture, and likewise admiration and love for others.
I come from a free country where we let eachother have our opinions.
I believe in freedom of speech. Not freedom of slander or derogatory language. But freedom of picking the words you want to use.
It is NOT for YOU to decide if I can use common (non-abusive, non-derrogatory) words or not.
And this is NOT up to YOU to decide wheater it is RELEVANT to use certain words or not in a sportscar debate.
I'm not telling YOU what words YOU can use or not, am I?
So please stop trying to tell me. And please stop using the phrase "this is a sportscar forum" as an excuse for censoring anything that isnt pertinant to the discussion.
If this board does not adopt the same moral standard as the majority of the Western world that's surely your call.
I'd just like to know how far you believe your power as editors and admins go so I can decide wheater to accept that or not.
Peace
PS: I just saw a post here today containing the [uncensored] word "nigga", which I believe is a bit more offensive than "p.e.n.i.s". You may wanna take a look at your filter again.
PPS: I'm sure some of the words that are censored have not been consciously picked out by the Rennteam editors and flagged as "dangerous". It's probably just an automatic feature of the backend of the website. It is -however- still funny/strange that certain words have been flagged as inappropriate IMO.
