TB look down at the box between your toes...reads "Ivory?".
Teasing my friend.
I've been through enough flame wars here, and one personal banishment, plus the responses from the mods to questions like yours.
I think I can remind you that the real purpose there is to keep members from insulting each other, so that this remains a calm place. The nannybot culls out words that typically get used in net spats. So for instance it is acceptable to allude to the Nazi party, but not to warn of attacks by the "rivet ***".
Your reference to a *** pocket is a little puzzling, but I imagine that term is couched in an insult somewhere in the web.

I'd like to say one thing as it's on my mind and to me meaningful.
In spite of what we've endured and are enduring collectively in the media in the last year, I never ever saw any hate rhetoric here, and I am very grateful for that. The Lord knows, and probably grimaces, that is more than abundant everywhere on HD cable.
In your last sentence you say "not insulting to anyone's sense of decency".
That sentence has made it's full impact by the word "anyone", period.
