I cannot believe any longer that these blocks have anything to do with protecting peoples feelings.
Recently a poster politely asked that a subject heading which insulted him (using his name)
be removed, Bob refused.What harm could there be in that?
There was no post following it- simply a subject heading insulting someone.
That was also the ONLY time Bob didn't go back and block out the offending "s"
as he does in every single post where someone uses the word a*s with out editing it themselves.Of course I don't think that little asterisk would have made one bit of difference to the feelings of the poster, but I do believe it says something significant, and its not good.
