Acid, check the feedback board if you are interested. There is a thread there devoted to it. I'm not interested in having the same discussion about it every week in a different thread.
Mate, it's your smacking site. You know your way around this place with your eyes closed. If you want to enlighten me then enlighten me by pointing me the way (at least with a link). And I can tell you a simple "no" gives nothing away (perhaps intensionally). You don't have a case to act all indignant about it when you are the one causing the confusion. I haven't got time to trawl through every single page of every single topic heading and sub-topic heading on the off chance that I may stumble onto something. You'll be lucky if I read anything beyond the first page, let along go to the feedback site (which I think I have to on 2 occasions).
Quote:It's up to Muslims to know what's offensive. Obviously you accept that we are not always free to say what we like, hence a prohibition at this site on words like sh!t and front bottom.
Besides, the discussion was not about swear words anyway, but was used as an example (by helian) of the main discussion of freedom of speech and how far the limits of vitriol can go. If there are no limits because we have to trust on the sensibilities of the agressor and the sensitivities of victim which you appear to be a proponent of. Therefore, I asked if that is the case why then is there a restriction of swear words if you're all for free speech.
Sprint breached Malik's sensitivity limit but you're saying that it's not Sprints fault. Fine, then. By that standard therefore its not my fault if I were to say bugger. However, by restricting my words you are in essence saying that it is. I want to understand were you set the limit wwith regards to religious vilification within this forum.
