What does Stephen Jones have that I haven't got?
He gets to use the word sh-----se and I get a BEEP.

All I can say to that is *beep* *beep* *beep*.

Well Harzer; you may not be able to write it but at least you don't have to live in one!

I would prefer to keep the secret to myself; if I told other people, then the moderators might catch on.

Why don't you send Harzer a PM, Stephen? Or can the moderators snoop on them?

Personally, I like the way the stupid censoring thingy encourages us to use our imaginations.

I don't really know what's going on here but if I am right there is a form of censorship that puts a 'beep' wherever somebody uses an insult or a similar word just like the beeps on tV??

The only thing I can say is that sometimes, when we see any kind of censorship in a place where there are not usually kids around we find that naive and produced either by minds with complexes or repressive in some way.

Here in Europe, we find it childish and a sign of an underdeveloped society.

For example the fuss about Janet Jackson's breast would never have happened in any Western European country and we feel we are well ahead of the US where there are many conservative groups which seem to remain in the Middle Ages.

This applies to the any Internet forum, too.

...Nor in many East European countries. It was considered to be a bit of a non-story here in Poland.
