fearpoint Well that is disappointing. Now I'm stuck between Amazon which publicly hates me and supporting the Chinese which are some of the biggest scumbags on Earth. I just want computer parts....
Seriously mods....! I get called out for using a simple & blunt crudity "Arse" which isn't (imo) a swearword, but racism even in this guise is permitted........................................wow just wow.
Make sure you don't use the word "cr4p" either... that's apparently a swear word to all the delicate ears that visit these forums. Remember, this is the era where it has somehow been deemed acceptable for individuals to expound great amounts of energy being offended on behalf of 'others' and force their opinions on the vast majority who find it mostly ridiculous.
Wait a sec.... crap is a ok word and has always been, even when the rules were more strictly applied. We even have a member named Craptacularone on these forums! http://forums.evga.com/Profile/241406/
I very recently had a post censored for it and was unofficially warned by a mod via pm, so nope, it's not ok now. Good point about CraptacularOne, wonder how they will handle that? PooptacularOne? lmao..
I would imagine that is why you were unofficially warned because its not a true rule violation but a personal paradigm violation by a over zealous mod, which is why it got stepped on. Trust me, there will be more crap in these forums!! :P edit: Besides all that, Crap was the guy who invented the auto siphon for toilets too I believe, which is why it has the reference it has. You cant ban history, that's just wrong.
Word Origin & History "defecate" 1846 (v.), 1898 (n.), from one of a cluster of words generally applied to things cast off or discarded (e.g. "weeds growing among corn"(1425), "residue from renderings (1490s), 18c. underworld slang for "money," and in Shropshire, "dregs of beer or ale"), all probably from M.E. crappe "grain that was trodden under foot in a barn, chaff" (c.1440), from M.Fr. crape "siftings," from O.Fr. crappe, from M.L. crappa, crapinum "chaff." Sense of"rubbish, nonsense" also first recorded 1898. Despite folk etymology insistence, not from Thomas Crapper (1837-1910) who was, however, a busy plumber and may have had some minor role in the development of modern toilets. Thename Crapper is a northern form of Cropper (attested from 1221), an occupational surname, obviously, but the exact reference is unclear. http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/crap
