I hear what you're saying and I don't think there's anything wrong with it for those that like it. The word just doesn't come out of my mouth easily so that's why I don't personally use it but for those that don't mind or even like it, that's great! Maybe I just need to loosen up a bit. Though as a couple of providers who saw me early on can attest, I'm waaaaaay less uptight now than a year ago. Originally Posted by SpankyJ

I'm reminded of board in a particular city (sadly, defunct a number of years now), where the board owners (a couple providers) had their web developer or admin (whoever would set up their board software) add a script that replaced the word "whore" with the phrase "nice lady" whenever someone used it. Caused me a little puzzlement when I was trying to make reference to a webpage or blog post which used the word "whore" in the title (and several places in the quote from the posting I was using), until I figured out where all the "nice lady"s were coming from.
