On the lighter side (and offensive to nobody) --

Unca's Useless Trivia That Will Stick With You Forever:

The word "guinea" used for Italian folks comes from the golden coin called a guinea. Here is a guinea:

When a ship pulled into port in Italy with goods to unload, those aboard would shout, "GUINEAS!" to indicate they were hiring locals to unload their cargo and they had gold to pay for the labor.

DOUBLE UNCA TRIVIA USELESSNESS YOU WILL BE DOOMED TO REMEMBER FOREVER:

When ships pulled into harbor, they would signal from afar that they had cargo to unload. Besides the close-up calling of "guineas", from further out they would beat a tattoo on a drum. You would recognize it instantly as "shave and a haircut -- two bits"
 
Except GIM2. That's the only board where I could pretty much state my mind. Never got banned from there either which surprised me.
 


I, for one, am deeply offended by this post. I find the very word "labor" deeply offensive and triggering. My mother was in labor when I was born. It was a traumatic experience. Nine months in what amounts to an incubation chamber and the first thing I see when I opened my eyes was her asshole.

For what it is worth, I have a list of words that are not to be mentioned in my house. All guests receive this list upon their arrival. They include, but are not limited to, "kumquat, tertiary, lignin, deuterocanonical, hydrophobia, and succinate". If any of you are ever a guest in my house, I would appreciate it if these words were not spoken. Oh, you can think about them, but don't ever say them.

Agreed. But the greatest fomenter of hatred the world has ever seen is religion. And the words of Leviticus have been used to torture and kill... for choosing/opting to follow the advice (read LAWS TO DIE BY TORTURE FOR) on different matters found there.

Either drop the OT, or don't. But to tiptoe among the enforced Laws of Gawd, ignoring some, and enforcing others... nope, that just ain't right.

Exodus: "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live." <-- so they drowned folks. One pore bastid got offed because he had the ability to stick his finger in a musket and lift it.

The correct translation is: "Thou shalt not suffer a poisoner to live." <-- So between sloppy translations and lost genuine meanings (why not wear a wool coat and a linen shirt??) the OT is a mess of some really bad juju.

Acrasia is not in Webster's anymore? Wow. I just impressed me. You need sumpin' other than a Cliff Notes (eg: College Edition) dictionary.

Haven't been a big fan of Webster's ever since they relented and made "contact" a verb.


As for them changing the definition of "vaccine" for the commies, I have no words to convey my disgust.

Which is why it is also taboo here (specifically mentioned in the forum guidelines). If you folk want to continue discussing OT, NT or religion, please take it to PM.

It amazes me that some folks think it's acceptable to enter a man's home and bitch about or mock his rules. If you want to stay in my home, respect my rules. If my rules are too much for you, I suggest you open the doors of your own home and host your own party.

In real life? None.

There used to a saying that went something like: sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me.

Whatever happened to teaching kids that?
....because in life, we will always encounter words we do not care for, but must learn to deal with.

How do they determine what a persons actual intent was? Seems like a grey area to allow mods to simply assign intent.

What about those that are merely offended by disagreement? There are in fact plenty of people in society who seem to get offended when disagreement is expressed towards their opinions.

A good argument could in fact be made that she is in fact a hag. Lol
 
I can imagine.....just thinking back to 3 years old is tough though.
 


i did not know that but i do agree , i do not like discussions on religion

the challenge is to try and separate religion from spirituality without stepping on anyones toes

like this quote ,

“We are not
human beings having a spiritual experience -
We are spirit beings having a human experience.”
~ Pierre Teilliard des Chardins ~



and i can pick and choose whatever i want to believe whether it is from the Bhagavad Gita , The Prophet , or the Farmers Almanac , no one has a corner on the market on what one believes or uses as a map through this journey we call Life

good luck to All

You gotta read my novel, The Cadet. You'll learn all kindsa neato schit including the origin of "tattoo". It comes from the early 17th-century Dutch phrase doe den tap toe ("turn off the tap"), a signal sounded by drummers to instruct innkeepers near military garrisons to stop serving beer and for soldiers to return to their barracks -- and is unrelated to the Tahitian origins of an ink "tattoo". <-- This version of the word came into use 150 years later.

Just as the military in the 1600's used drums to signal a specific message with a tattoo, so did ships entering harbors.

Just sayin'.
 
OOP. Just noted: Casey Jones had the scoop on the etymology of "tattoo".

Naturally.
 
Not exactly sure what your rules are. I asked for a list of the censored words you claim you have. Nothing but crickets.
 
I kept thinking "tap-toe" without remembering where it came from.

Now I know. Lost with the books and stuff I boxed up in my 38 moves, 2003-2014, is The Cadet.
 
Missed that, sorry.

I dunno, it gives an avatrol (bastard) such as me the sprachgefuhl (sensitivity to what is correct as far as a language is concerned) to be armed with the scibility (power of knowing) to deliver my erudition bangstry (masterful violence) as a sudorific (to cause perspiration) to the semi-literate normal people.

Meh. The downside? There ain't no money in it. My novels are all written in American.

The forum guidelines are posted here:

Important - Forum Guidelines

Let's not bicker and argue about who killed who, this is supposed to be a happy occasion! This forum is not a place to air grievances, attack, insult or upset people. Disagreements should be handled civilly and diplomatically. Thank you. This quote was from another forum that I visited many...
www.pmbug.com

Please let me know if anything there is confusing or needs clarification. This thread is highlighting the guideline about being respectful to people (ie. don't insult people with epithets/slurs).

Whereas, if you wrote about vampires, the walking dead, haunted hotels...and made prolific use of the F-bomb...you'd be as rich as Stephen King.

There just ain't no justice in this world...

Trivia: If you look at the cover, that town is Aachen (right inside the border of Germany).

That weird sum-barine really did have all that heavy artillery on it. It was also rubber-coated.

And the double sooper sekrit mistake that you can find if you look closely: ONE of the balloons over Aachen has the top cut off.

-----------------------------------------------
Writer Alert!!
-----------------------------------------------

If anyone here is unsure of just what a "dangling participle" is, here is a puffeck example:

That weird sum-barine really did have all that heavy artillery on it. It was also rubber-coated.

Note that it is possible for the reader to think the heavy artillery was rubber coated. Just want to show the cover error sekrit...




Oh hell... that looks like advertising. It ain't. My cut is less than the price of a 1/2 gallon of milk. TINS. But that IS an actual photo of a WWII sub.

Feel free to censor/delete it. Posted while flying.

No, I learned that a long time ago.

It was at a county fair. I was in the VFW's beer tent, and then went to the "restroom" (portable fiberglass johns). My fly jammed up, in the DOWN position. Nothing I could do.

My Jockeys were worn, too. And my judgment was about what you'd expect after five draft beers on an empty stomach in an hour.

Cop told me my participle was dangling, and wrote me a summons. Said, use duct tape if you have to, but put things away.

Once again, you demonstrate your flying skill. Although I piloted many flight hours needing modest attention in the air, I never had the occasion to compose prose, let alone participate on an online forum.
 
Second sentence in your original post that started this thread;

"Further to that point, I also started filling out the forum software's censored words list."

So, what's the list of censored words?

See the 3rd and subsequent sentences:


You seem really hung up on knowing the exact words in the list. That's not important (and also not possible to post as the words will get replaced as described above). Don't use slurs/epithets. Don't insult people. That's what is important if you want to enjoy the party here.
 
It's important to judge what you are censoring. I kind of thought a few people might be jumping to conclusions about you. Thanks for confirming they are not.
 
Some people are used to the way things are at gim. It's a bit different here. There are rules and the site owner simply wants them followed.

Before I became excommunicado at gim I had chat with one of the founders. We were discussing some of the things that were going on in the forum. I asked him why some things were allowed to go on. He told me that he and several others allowed certain behavior because they found it amusing. Not shitting anyone here at all. He flat out told me that some of the personal attacks amused him and a couple of others. So they let it go on for laughs.

In my opinion that's pretty fucked up and speaks volumes about certain people. Showed me what they really thought about the general membership. Whether you believe me or not..........it's the truth.

During that chat and a couple of others I found out all kinds of neat shit. Was told about some members who constantly contacted management about other members. Like little kids they would constantly complain about different members posts and other shit, trying to cause problems for peeps they didn't like. You should have heard what they had to say about them. Here it's different.

I post on a couple of other forums. They all have rules, and they enforce them. It's just normal on most forums. I don't think the rules here are any different than other forums.

Not going to make any suggestions here, but I will say you guys lucked out with this place............in my opinion. And no matter where you go, you have to go along to get along.

One last thing............to talk about someone who has gone out of their way to do you a solid behind their back in a derogatory way is royally fucked up.

What is or is not a "personal attack" is very subjective. For example, challenging someone on what they've posted is seen by some as a personal attack when in fact, it is not.

Little kids is a good description of those who do that. Just like a little kid in school running to the teacher in response to every perceived slight, be they real or not. People like that should be ignored, or maybe have it explained to them that they are acting like a child.

We're all still adults though. It used to be assumed that adults were supposed to have skin that is thicker than tissue paper.

The chat I referred to was pretty direct. Names and posts were brought up. Not going to betray a confidence as to the names, but the cat I was talking to agreed with me that some things had crossed the line and were out right attacks. In the end he admitted that that attacks were responsible for some members leaving. Things did change a bit after that but only for a while.


Once again names were mentioned. I suggested they should start a thread and call it Weasel World. Post word for word what was said, and who said it. Most weasels don't like exposure. He didn't care too much for that idea.

The only thing I can say to this is that where I live, saying the wrong thing to the wrong person, at the wrong time, can end up with someone getting hurt. Easy to hide behind a screen name online and fuck with someone for amusement, not so easy if that person is standing next to you with half a load on and who could go absolutely ape shit if he thinks you're fucking with him. Better to be safe than sorry. Besides, a little courtesy goes a long way.
