Thread Name: Objection to Bawdy Song Titles in Forum Menu
Subject: RE: Objection to JohnMehlberger
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that not putting profanities in the thread titles isn't going trip us all up. This John guy just needs a little tutoring in how to write a short, pithy, and accurate description that fits in the title line. So how in hell did this get overblown into yet another bloody battle over the Mudcat censor?

Is it too much to ask that we not put the nasty words in titles, if we ask each other nicely? Who here wants the lyrics John is posting to be censored? Why this high drama and hysteria over such trifling matters?

Why, when so many members who frequent this place have simply complained that having one of the seven+ (depending upon your level of dainty sensibilities) naughty words on the front page gets caught in the censorship filters, and defacto locking them out of the forum, can't everyone just agree that makes perfect sense and then have your beloved Mudcat censors edit out any offending words for the good of all concerned?

Why the calls for censorship? Why can't there just be a bloody decision by the damn forum moderator to keep the nasties out of the thread titles, so more people don't get filtered out of the forum? Instead of leaving this whole thing open to discussion and hysteria mongering?

Joe, why not just make a damn decision--it's what you always do anyway, usually with your head up your ass, like it is today.

Jaysus, some days I think people here couldn't find their way out of a paper bag.
