At the risk of sounding like AZ, I am genuinely excited about the prospect of Dukes joining the big league club soon. His all-around athleticism and batting eye could provide a much-needed spark to this team. I certainly wouldn't miss Rob Mackowiak if Dukes replaces him.

Thread's back, original title restored, and I added a word censor for those who find the title distasteful (everyone please remember censors are optional here, enabled by default, so turn it on or off depending on your preference)
There's a difference to me between swears and calling a thread "pictures". No one would care at work if I was reading something with curse words in it.
I'm not sure I follow what you mean... all I can tell you is that I don't favor mandatory censorship. That's why the word censors on this board are optional. If there were a way for me to make word censors optional on a word-by-word basis, then I would offer that, but with what we have right now, it's an all-or-nothing deal. If you have alternative suggestions, I'm very happy to hear them.
I have word censors turned off. But the thread title insinuated that the thread contained picturesographic material. A boss wouldn't get a joke that AZ really really likes Elijah Dukes. It would just seem like someone was looking at pictures at work.
Am I mssing something here (besides an "i" in "missing")? You have your word censor turned off, yet you don't want the word "pictures" displayed. If you turn the censor on, can't you selectively block that word and fix your problem, without having to alter anyone else's content?
I'm not asking for censorship. I have word censors turned off. But the thread title insinuated that the thread contained picturesographic material. A boss wouldn't get a joke that AZ really really likes Elijah Dukes. It would just seem like someone was looking at pictures at work. I was against this specific context.By the way, the fact that the censors turn "pictures" into "pictures" is hilarious.
Alright, I figured that's what you meant.As I said, there isn't much I can do about that. From my perspective, I have basically 3 choices:1) mandatory censorship2) optional censorship3) no censorshipI admittedly didn't consider a situation like yours where it doesn't personally bother you, but a word like that could get you into trouble at work.
It's all or nothing switch on the profile options. I'm not going to echo recent posters; I'm clearly in the minority so I'll switch on censors. I'll lose all the f-bombs that I have no problem with. Oh well.

Okay, thanks for the patient explanation, I haven't messed around with the options and didn't know how it worked.
I love how this board is trying to preserve the use of an explicit word in the title, pure comedy
I've been more than reasonable and patient. See you in 3 days. I sincerely hope you return prepared to talk baseball.
That guy has changed. I like when he talks baseball, though.
