Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

I don't view being -blam!- as a bad thing, but judging from your reaction, you think it may cause harm, and I guess bungie does too. Or perhaps I am jumping to conclusions
Because you're not -blam!-. I view it as a negative connotation, and I don't want to see everyone calling each other -blam!-. It will cause harm because not a single person in this day and time could actually use that word anymore without pissing someone off.

Either way, I don't see anything wrong with the word other than the fact that some immature brats may use it as a derogatory term."May use it as a derogatory term"? What other 'terms' are there? There's only one, and using '-blam!-' to call something or someone stupid or dumb (or whatever) is even more ridiculously stupid and offensive.

I lol'd at the absurd miscommunication that occurs whenever dibbs post something. Perhaps his brain is so highly evolved that he can no longer clearly communicate with lesser life forms, even among his own species.

No, censorship's only purpose is to white-wash language so smug -blam!-s with vaunted ideals and great insecurities don't have to visibly confront emotional states and topics they aren't comfortable with.

It's a form of power consolidation, nothing more, which is why it centers around removing from use "profane slurs" (ie. lower class jargon) as opposed to the much more vile language of the board-room or the senate house.
Did we just become best friends?

All counter-arguments to evolution are based on a gross misunderstanding of the theory.

We need to protect the virgin minds of our community.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

They used the base Microsoft filters and made small additions or changes.

That being said, yes, there's way too many things which are censored which really don't need to be. I'd give examples, but of course they'd all come up as -blam!- and I wouldn't want to be banned for bypassing the filter by describing them.

You're on their site, play by there rules, that's pretty much what it comes down to.
