Remember the date. This is the EXACT day when our thoughts have been strangled. The day a simple joke is interpreted as an all-out distasteless act of vileness. Some people on here say that "what about the average 10-year old who is reading it?". What, is this the same average 10-year old who finds fit these days to hang around in gangs, snarling at you if you walk past them? Oh, wait, maybe not, those people know what an outside life is. Just like YOU should. We complain about a border-line obscenity? I'm sure SR have better things to do than listen to miniscule arguments made by people feeling good about themselves at that particular moment.

And before you start I'm not saying all this because my name has been changed, I'm saying it because...quite frankly, you need to get a sense of humour. Don't whine about EVERYTHING, and if it doens't really offend anyone, then, again, don't complain.

Now, I'm finished, just like humour.

I was thinking of changing name soon too.

Any ideas?

How about "Expletive Deleted"?

Or "Ex Del" for short.

Enough of this. I wasn't keeping that new name. I'm not keeping this new name.

No, Mr. Ripper did it about a week ago when Ashley got banned.

...anyway, you had your reasons, fair enough. I'm not gonna start arguing with you. It's done. I've got to accept it.

I have no interest in being in the staffies good books. I'd won 3 GADs before I eve exchanged words with any of them. To me, they are little more than window dressing.

What I do have an interest in though, is not openly exposing otherwise innocent youths to abusive language, and directly or indirectly affecting Special Reserve's sales figures or PR balance as a result. Your previous name was no great help to that end, and I hope you have the maturity to keep away from such nicks in the future.

You won't see me reporting people for saying "boob" or "willy" though, so don't worry.

It wasn't Mr. Ripper that 'kicked up a fuss about your name'. It was me. I am not trying to get into SRs good books by doing it. It did offend me as I have said. This is the first time I have ever got involved in anything like this. I have always stayed out of it before.

Lol, shaddap

And Mr. Ripper, that's fair enough. I'm not just blaming you (even though it was You who kicked up a fuss about my name ;) ) but it seems everyone on here wants to get in the good books of SR by being angels., and pinpointing everything everyone does wrong. You see what I'm saying?

So, what you're saying is that because a few youths in today's society have been corrupted, we shouldn't make any attempt at salvaging those that are left?

There is probably logic somewhere in what you're saying, but I just can't see it.

I had no problem with your name. As far as I'm concerned, you can't be the former without being the latter.
