I'm sorry, but knowing that the name of this Goddess has been maligned does not make it less of a name. How the **** am I supposed to talk of her without using her name?
So, for me, if the name BOB becomes vulgar, can I just tell you, and have it automatically splatted? Will people get a PBC for using it?
Do you honestly think so little of the people here as to believe that they cannot tell the difference between when someone is being crude and when they are offering a blessing? Can you not tell the difference yourself? If you can, shouldn't the rest of the readers also be able to? I kind of figure that most people here are able to read at least 6th grade english, and the post I got PBC'd for is certainly within the reading abilities of all here.
A heartfelt blessing was offered and by the god of the board rebuked. It was much more than civil, but treated as trash. I hope that you also issues PBC's when someone offers blessings in the name of Jesus Christ, as that name also is treated as profane. And when speaks of Hell as a possible place in teh afterlife.
If a word has multiple meanings and the meaning is clear in context, what possible purpose may be served by the issuance of a PBC? It offers no-one the opportunity to learn the true meaning of the word, especially in a name.
I'm done with kindergarten. You all be nice to each other. Don't use naughty words. Don't use words that an uneducated few might think are naughty. play nice, make up. Don't talk about things that others might disagree with or misunderstand.I'm done here. May an unnamed generic non-gender specific unoffensive deity watch over those who are unable to tell the difference between a blessing and a curse.
Good-bye
