Tis curious how pi**ed is censored but Peter's craftily inserted t*ts seems to be fine In the US, many would not blink an eye when someone exclaims "waitress, my coffee is cold and I'm pi**ed" but say "waitress, my coffee is cold and you have a nice set of t*ts" and you will likely be slapped.

I do not believe in censorship.
I do believe in good manners, however.
A statement to an unknown waitress, about her attributes, would be totally inappropriate. Why would anyone say that they are P/O'd because of a cold cup of coffee? One merely asks for a fresh cup!
Since this is a forum about pianos, it should remain as such. I don't think that "ticked off" would be edited out. Stretching further, if I described the sound of the bass in a S&S-D as "ballsy", it would probably be posted. We shall see if it is posted with asterisks.
This is a public forum which deals with something that we all consider to be quite special, i.e. pianos. Are street language and sailor-speak necessary to convey a message at Piano World?
I really don't think so.

I think the overwhelming majority of us post in such a manner that the list of censored words is not taxed very heavily. Ken [/b] And use the  when we are mad enough for sailor language.

If anything, this is one of the least moderated forums I've ever been in. Very little is removed, edited or censored.
