If you’ve tried to post a comment this morning and it hasn’t shown up, chances are you used one of the naughty keywords that our publishing system is now on the lookout for. We’re not averse to the occasional four-letter word used at the right time in the right way, but when they are used to insult individuals or entire groups of people, it’s not so cool. We’ve also blocked the use of the “tinyurl” links, since one rogue member of the community has been peppering comment threads with disguised links to inappropriate photos. We’ll see how this works for the next few days. If you have an idea that you can’t figure out how to express without offensive language, chances are it isn’t worth expressing.
What? Is this a real estate blog or sesame street?
Thanks Mr. B. We certainly don’t want anyone on here to use bad words. After all, this blog is as much for children as for adults.
This discriminates against the subculture that uses the same four letter word as a noun, verb, adverb and adjective.
I guess that puts an end to The What’s postings!!!
Thanks very much, Mr. B. It’s really tiresome to have to trudge through all the sophomoric, frat-boy !#*@$ and *&$%! language on this blog lately.
Bravo!
I agree four letter words have no place in public discourse
Including the publisher of this web site’s use of a four letter word in an interview with new york magazine about the flea market venture
Thanks for minding my language for me, Mommy.
If you hang around this blog for a while, you’ll find that there’s a small gang of bullies who go to great lengths to silence anyone who criticizes any aspect of PLG–and this includes anyone who wants to discuss crime in PLG or even to acknowledge specific events, like this poor woman’s demise. One of their favorite strategies is to accuse anyone critical of PLG of being a ‘troll’. This is why someone described them in an earlier thread as ‘metatrolls’.
