Anyone done the S****horpe joke yet?


I worked with a guy who used the F word between almost every other word (unless he got really stressed when the level went up), even if one of those words was an F word. It sounded really stupid when you first heard it, but after a while you didn't actually notice it any more. Your mind just went into filter mode. I think he was ex merchant navy.
He wasn't a chef was he?

Yeah, I had the same impression. Kudos from me too

Huh? General Antilles wrote "********" and it didn't get filtered, but someone wrote "I don't give a rat's ***" and that got filtered?! That's weird.

Ah, the costs of having a Puritan heritage. Dry counties and profanity filters.

I keep misreading the thread title as "The Automated Profanity Filler". I don't know why. I do think qwerty might be the man for the job though.

Sometimes profanity is the only thing that can correctly convey the meaning you want. Profanity is not the same as disrespect and heated discussions. If talk.maemo.org is an informal forum, I see no reason to automatically strip/censor these (sometimes necessary) words.
