In reply to Muffy shouldn't have been blocked for saying f*rt, posted by happyflower on January 15, 2006, at 7:11:10
I understand Dr. Bob's desire not to have unasterisked strong language on the board, although it baffles me what the auto-asterisker considers strong and what it doesn't consider strong.
And I've never wanted to be the language police.
But Muffled got two gentle warnings, one from me and one from Tamar, that what she did could be considered bypassing the autoasterisking system, based on prior history. If she had explained at that point that she hadn't understood the rules, and expressed regret for inadvertantly breaking them, she almost certainly wouldn't have gotten blocked. Which is what Tamar and I were trying to tell her. :(
