Sure! Be great actually. Try to keep it more Lego-oriented though.

"Swearing only hurts people, and it’s not 'cool'. Alpha X has a word censor, but even then people know you’re attempting it."

Who is actually hurt by "swear" words? Besides, why is "sh**" worse than "poop"? Why is "****" worse than "copulate"? If you can't come up with an answer as to why one is offensive and not the other, your stance is irrational.

You're stance is irrational. Shut up and don't join if you have a problem with it.

By definition, my stance is rational as I can clearly explain why I believe the way I do without any contradictions. If you are unable to clearly state why certain words are worse than their synonyms, then your position is irrational. Considering that you responded with a "NO U", it seems as though this is the case.

Reier is just trying to keep it a friendly environment for users of all ages

younger kids while being allowed to say poop are generally told to stay away from "crap" despite meaning the same thing

its all just easier that way,

Isn't that the point of the word filter?

JoeBlo · « **Reply #13 on:** December 19, 2009, 11:38:43 PM »

it is possible to get around the filter with cr@p or cr#p etc

so the rules still need to be in place

"Crap" isn't allowed? Are you ****ing kidding me? Name one English-speaking 13 year old who hasn't said crap.

Reier · « **Reply #15 on:** December 20, 2009, 09:22:04 AM »

The POINT is- if you have a problem with not saying swear words, don't join.
No crap isn't filtered either.
Have a fit somewhere else jeff.

I just joined.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #17 on:** December 20, 2009, 09:50:36 AM »

I was just using Crap as an example, I dont really know what is filtered or not

but yes its an argument thats getting nowhere slowly so there isnt much point debating over it,

dont like the rules, dont play the game

You can't even offer an explanation as to why your fragile little mind can't handle certain words, but can handle their synonyms? Have you never put any thought into it, or do you simply have no legitimate answer? It looks to me that you're just against certain words because your mommy and daddy say that they're bad. Instead of coming to a conclusion on your own, you just proudly accept the bupkis that is handed down to you. Speaking of bupkis, is that allowed on your little website? It's Yiddish for "goat sh**", so if it is, this just furthers my point.
