Some Changes

[jumper69]

In an attempt to be non offensive and politically correct, I have banned certain words and all background images.

I just want us all to feel good and not offend anyone. [img]graemlins/whatever.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Good job, GAE has added to the list and I encourage all board members to send the mods all words they find offensive so those words can be banned and we can have a truly PC format.

Here is my list of words I find offensive and I am asking thay they be banned:

***
Guinea
I-tye
****
kraut
Hun
Spick
Slant eyes
Mexarican
Limey
****
*****
Canuk
Slope
commie
neocon
******
gay boy
*****
left winger
Right winger
***neck

I will think of more later.

Come on folks, Trav has the spirit (can I say that?....spirit?)

Let's get with the program. Send me the words you find offensive. We already have a fairly comprehensive list but I'm sure you out there are offended by this. So send me them words people.

Since the changes aren't retroactive, I'll add a few:

Winter
Solstice
Celebrate
Spirit

AHAHAHAAAAAAAA! I wuz wondering 'bout all the asterisks - I thought Trav replaced those semi-manually (using Word find & replace) to make a point. heheeeeeeeeeee!

Yes Lan, we don't want to offend any of our board members nor any visitors to this site.

It was my idea to ban all possible offensive vocabulary and images.

Can't we all just get along??

You've done it now, Jumper. [img]mad.gif[/img]

I'd like to add "religious" to the list, and well as all foreign phrases. (du jour, indeed!)

This is AMERICA, you know! We don't need no stinkin French words.

[Sluggo]

How about such words as:
Fat
Over-weight
Heavy
Chubby
C***ky
Obese
Large

I am offended by these - and I'm SURE there are others that I have not thought of yet. But it is early! OH!!! I forgot -

OLD
Aged
Elderly
******

Give me some time. I'm sure there are others! [img]graemlins/grrr.gif[/img]
