I will approach you ninjas with respect, but there is something that you do that really ticks me off. I am sorry if I come across as offending or slightly hostile, but there is no other way that I can express myself.
Here we go. So earlier today I was participating in an LGBT pride thread. In that thread I was discussing why I don't like LGBT pride parades, but all the while I was doing my utmost best to stay very respectful and to choose my words carefully as not to offend anyone, while still being able to express my views. However, since we are talking about LGBT, the "G" part of it, as you may know, is blocked by the profanity filter. The reason I think this was originally done is so that it prevents people from using it in a derogatory manner. However, in that thread, it is kind of hard to say what you have to say when every other sentence has "-blam!-" in it. It is very distracting (I think), and it is just easier to just spell... um... how do I do this without getting another warning...
"!@#$"
!=g
@=h
#=e
$=y
Work with me here. I'm trying.
So, I presented why I don't participate in those pride parades, in a respectful manner. However, a short while after the thread was effectively done with, I received a warning from Disembodied Soul that I shouldn't bypass the profanity filter.
(Excuse my frustration)
ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?
I would venture to say that I was one of the least hot-headed people there, and I can say this because I know that I made a conscious effort to be so. How can you honestly send me a warning, which I have gotten multiple times in the past for the exact same reason, that I was bypassing the profanity filter when it is completely obvious that my intentions for doing so were pure? See for yourself. Look at my posts. Do you have no sense of judgement? Quite honestly, as biased as I may be towards my own opinions (as I would think I should be), that is complete donkey poop.
Please ninjas, please explain to me your reasoning. Yes, I know I violated the rules, but I did so in a goodhearted, honest and respectful manner. What is your rebuttal?
[Most of my anger is towards Disembodied Soul. Some of you ninjas are cool, so don't get me wrong.]
