Need a Hand?

I tried to post this under ‘Return of bayridgegirl’ but it’s being held for review, so I’ll post it under my only other log in name 😉
Cobble:
When a new log-in name posts for the first time, their post is held for review/malicious content.
I tried to post a comment at about 10:00am (using my Return of bayridgegirl log-in name)
It was obviously a parody on ‘The What’ and also referencing Arabs in the theme of what was going on in the thread.
I emailed Mr. B, alerting him that I was a regular poster and asked him to release the post. He replies that he thinks it’s racist. I told him I’d take full responsibility for my words and it’s a parody and no worse than what anyone else has said here. Regardless, about 2 dozen emails later between Mr. B and myself, to appease, I re-wrote it; removing what Mr. B deemed ‘racist’ and tried to post again, but yet there were some issues with my use of the ‘F’ word.
Well that was cleaned up and finally posted…..after about 3-1/2 hours.
Problems with the system – Yes.
Censorship…..hhhmmm.
Censorship in any form is the enemy of creativity, since it cuts off the life blood of creativity: ideas.â€

No way this whore will ever end
Oooh, for goodness sake, Mr. B.
You’re never going to let me live this ‘Return of bayridgegirl’ log-in name, you’re holding another of my posts under that name for review…..I give up!!
Note: to people that create multi user names. Don’t create one with: Return of________
Ha! benson- did you not offer to have your Borsalino steamed and cleaned…… for BRG? You two-timer, you!
ENY-thanks, I don’t comment much, but couldn’t resist that one
dave,
I was in Albany (and Troy) over the weekend. Such nice houses in Troy. There must have been such wealth there at one time. It is like a better-preserved version of Brooklyn Heights. and Rensserlearville is nice too.
and depressed values! unbelievable.
Do you have a house up there somewhere? The family manse?
Bxgrl;
I thought I was your favorite curmudgeon? Ah well, another fickle woman in my life.
No longer married, sam. But keep me in mind if yours doesn’t work out- Let your wife know you have someone waiting in the wings if she gives you a hard time :-).
Wordperfect also allows you to create a PDF- Word used to do that,years ago, if I remember correctly but no longer. It is a great program. MS Office 7 is awful. I’m so addicted to Coreldraw I would probably have to go to rehab if they ever took it off the market. It can be a little buggy but X3 is much less so. I agree with denton and mopar- software rules.
(denton- how’s ubuntu? You like working with it?)
cobblehiller….I think she’s schizophrenic. She seems to be talking to herself alot.
I think her walls are covered in aluminum foil as well.
What’s your point Randi?
