Not really. Your mom is over quite enough to make my fears mute.

Being alone. You're a mod, you should be used to that.

I know a lot of people get offended by that, I don't know why , though. Using that word with that meaning ( to show distaste) has been around for a long time.
Ex. " That kill was so -blam!-". I don't see what is offensive about it, but I don't want to derail the thread into an argument.Well, this argument is exactly why it's filtered.
You're mocking someones way of life, so to speak. Like when you call someone a retard, you're pretty much mocking their intelligence as well as demeaning people who have physical/mental disabilities. Sure, you may not MEAN to offend anyone, but some people take it that way.
Cursing in general is sort of like that, too. Some people are EXTREMELY offended by the word -blam!-, or -blam!-, or crap, or -blam!-, or even using "god damn it". Not to mention all of the words/using -blam!- or retard as an insult is childish. You have a point. I don't want to argue over this, that would be a for sure ban. Thanks.
