I am very appreciative of all doctors reviewing my application materials.


Someone wrote this at the end of a writing piece at a competition. Is it allowed?

Thanks

I guess it's allowed but it is an obvious attempt at ass-kissing and the piece would have to be brilliant to overcome such blatant toadying.

Why does Dave's auto-policeman accept ass but does not accept *beep*? (c o c k e r e l)

What happens if I *beep* (p r i c k ) my finger?

Come on, Dave, wake up to the stupidity of your auto-bowdlerization.

Yeah, I too was shocked that ass was not beeped. Very inconsistent! I think that even b r e a s t gets beeped. Let's see! Following is either b r e a s t (with no spaces) or *beep*.

Hmm... I know that's been beeped before. Maybe they changed the software, or the settings? I noticed that the name of the moderator has changed.

Let's try c o c k e r e l, c o c k y, D i c k e n s, b a s t a r d.

*beep*
*beep*
*beep*
*beep*

Can somebody tell me what words I am not supposed to use on this forum?

Apparently I can say ass. What other words can I say?

Micturation? Cunnilingus? Fellatio? Suck? Blow?

But not c o c k e r e l or d i c k e n s .

What the *beep* d i c k e n s is going on?

I say, "Micturate on this stupid auto-prude."

If those words get through, then the censoring makes no sense.
