It's Interesting Which Words Are Blocked As Offensive By This Site While Others Pass Just Fine
Naturally I can't list the words directly but cr___ (rhymes with peep) and p____ (rhymes with kicker) are two of them. Yet it's OK to say something is stupid or to say jerk. I'm really not complaining, I actually find it entertaining. I just tried to use a quote from a Steve Miller Band lyric in a post and was surprised it had a problem. But, uh, this topic will probably get pulled from discussion anyway.

Text filters are like web filters: No one likes them and they don't work anyway.

And why is the word Ä‹rap blocked?

 Hey, it's weird, the word cr_ap appeared in your post so I tried to post a comment about it being unblocked but now I get that block again. I don't know what's going on. Maybe you used a keyboard trick. But I agree it's a pretty benign word to be blocked.

Yeah, I noticed that too, Grenache....I guess it is the software that lets some words pass, others not.
Programmed, guess. I don't know.

Probably, that's just the way this stupid site is anyhow. Their filters here have arguably the most moronic selection of words I have ever seen in my life.
