I’m so curious know what identified generation was banned.

Seems like a solid plan.

Heil Jeff!

I won’t be back.

Don't feel bad, pp.

OP used a word that caused him to be blocked. OP wanted a list of the words that cause people to be blocked. Jeff said no and OP is in a tizzy.

I got that part, I wasn't clear. I thought blocked words were the "George Carlin words you can't say on TV" words. What phrases and lists are changing daily that people are using? That's what confused me.

Her concern appears to be two terms that have been commonly — too commonly in my opinion — derogatorily towards posters (particularly women) of a certain age.

This is an example of something I mentioned in my AMA. Intuitively, I should be worried that an active user has decided to stop using DCUM. But what I have found is that users like this are a net negative who drive away more traffic than they add. Because being able to insult other posters is her priority, we are better off without her.

I don’t know what you are talking about. If you were blocked it wasn’t because of this thread. But, au revoir.
