But it's too late. That pothole pulled me in, like fate. My tire thuds, my car it shakes. I shout, I brake, please be a mistake. No, I hit it. Loud and proud. That pothole smiles; I yell aloud. I am sure it laughed and giggled too. Got your tire, bent your rim too. Oh, pothole how dare you! Take it back. You sucked me in so deep and black. Now my day it has been shot. No turning back from what was lost. Tomorrow I will remember it's there. When I see it I will glare. I will tell it watch me now. And swerve around it oh so proud. But alas, we both know. I'll forget and drive right into you, pothole. - Carmen Francis Nice, but not quite up to the literary standards established by "Cloudless" recently.

If I wanted to read that type of thing I would go to Chiriqui Libre. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Bakke Posted November 15, 2015 Author Share Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) Words, by themselves are not really smut, they are just words - words you can hear on a ton of TV broadcasts, in casual conversation, etc. But, whatever..... BTW, is there a list of verbotten words? Can we, for example, use words like screw or poop, or are these too offensive as well?

Gordon Bakke Posted November 15, 2015 Author Share Posted November 15, 2015 Unfair? Why? And why the use of an exclamation mark? THIS is the kind of thing that you find upsetting?

This is the second time you have taken issue with one of my comments. What are you, the arbitrator of what is proper? Gordon wasn't offended. The person who posted Cloudless' comment wasn't offended. As Gordon said, "Unfair? Why?" Unfair to whom? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please refer to our Terms and Rules, specifically Rule #9. Gordon, this should say it all. It's up to this site to determine how they want it viewed. I happen to agree that foul language has it's place, this is not it. Just because you hear it on TV or in private conversations doesn't make it right or any more palatable. I'm not a prude but appreciate off color language not be so "in your face" at every turn. Edited November 15, 2015 by JoJo 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Bakke Posted November 15, 2015 Author Share Posted November 15, 2015 I mostly agree with you. Still, I was a bit surprised like Judy that the rules pertaining to language are apparently more strict on CL than on BN. Language buffers seem to be built in. At least I now know that my use of the word "poop" will not be tampered with. :-) Personally, I'm hoping that the pooping Ruta Sur will be completed.

Administrators Admin_01 Posted November 15, 2015 Administrators Share Posted November 15, 2015 The preceding postings were split out of a thread in the topical forums that discusses the completion of the Ruta Sur. The reason for splitting these replies out is that they went off-topic -- interesting to some, but definitely off-topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Bakke Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 Damn, glad I'm not the one who has to sort all these posts out according to topic. One of the MOST interesting things about the old .ning in my opinion is that so often things went crazily off-course. To each their own....
