in reply to Let's discuss Podmaster's Signature

I agree with BrowerUK The idea of a word being offensive is really just plane silly. It is JUST a word and it is usually just slang meaning for another word that is not considered offensive. This has come up on the Monastary now several times usually brought up by some holier than thou puritan. I hope this is the last time it is brought up -

    Yeah. I don't personally like heavy use of obscenity or scatology, but I like the "bad words" brigade even less. I don't think it's something there should be rules about, and I think that too much "social pressure" is generally counterproductive (as it turns people like me into activists).
