Suggestion Q about "banned" words

[Warthaug]

I have a quick question about banned words here on SCUBAbaord - how exactly does a word get put on "the list". I understand putting profanity and whatnot on the list, but have been surprised by a few of the words which get starred out - certain 1940's-era German political movements for example.

Just curious...

EDIT: Sorry, I forgot to ask my actual question, is there a way to recommend words be removed from "the list"?

mamograms?

Mammograms are not fun or entertaining. Imagine your balls being placed in a vice and tightened to a half-inch of their life...ouch!!!!!

LetterBoy, now that's damn funny .....



(for those that might not get it, just think about it for a few minutes... )

I've always heard that Mammograms were not fun for women, but I've never had it put in that painful perspective before..... **ouch**. Hurts just thinking about it.

Again, it's just easier to say "Ex-Wife"

You're welcome! I like to share with my fellow divers!

Morning All :coffee"
Bear reporting for duty!

Good Morning StandingBear56. We believe nereas plans to steal the wikipedia scuba database at a ScubaBoard function tomorrow night. Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to obtain photographic proof of the theft, apprehend those involved, and return the stolen database. I don't have to stress the importance of this matter, StandingBear56. We're keeping it internally black. Because of its urgency, I've already sent to New York a team selected from your usual group.

More like "Prosecutor" ... or is it Persecutor?

Despite the fact that truth is a perfect defense against slander, using such decriptive terms in open conversation generally causes much more stress (to the speaker (payback from a bitch is a bitch ^2) than it is worth.
