Dear Mods...

[*pepe]

What is the theory behind the word r a p e being reduced to **bleep** like its a smutty unacceptable word that must not be spoken here on Community Spirit?

R a p e is a serious and all too common occurence in our society and already is kept hidden by too many victims who feel the stigma of shame that society in general has attached to it.

It should be, NEEDS to be, freely discussed without any connotations of it being a dirty word.

By bleeping it out you are contributing to the stigma.

If you have a social conscience at all you will fix this immediately.

The mods are not allowed to interact on the boards.

So if you want a question answered by a mod, you have to contact them by PM, which it appears, Pepe has done.

why didn't you post that earlier  ? 

[flashie*]

But Joz...............it was a joke posted in poor taste..................even after many had said it had over stepped the mark you still failed to see it.

The fact you thought it was OK to post it on here in the first place is very telling....

there is no vendetta, just a group of people telling you that your joke was inappropriate.

could that be because the majority are female?

I'd say more to the point, the majority understand social boundaries.

It is also the name of a plant & is also used in matters outside of the sexual use of the word.

no, as I already posted the seed/plant is rapeseed, all one word. It is just the noun that is filtered.

The plants are also called **bleep**, canola, wild canola, wild **bleep** summer **bleep** etc. They are derived from the rapeseed plant of old.

Stupid filter is still in place I see.
