"I would prefer it gone, but I can deal with it staying."

I know kids as young as 12 and 13 may be reading this site but honestly, you're gunna see it somewhere. LOL

And pretty sure most of us knew, and maybe dropped, the F bomb, at 13. Or younger Embarrassed

it's just a website anyway.

Guess I don't really care either way, but I already voted for what I said at first so...shucky darns!

Interesting to see all of you spending time on a discussion and then ending your posts with 'I don't care...' Deep inside, you do, I guess...

I doubt it. Swearwords like "Genesis" "Magma" "Soft Machine" "Gentle Giant" and "Yes" will scare them away. These swear words are after all in our heading, very visible. That's why Phil Collins never visits our website.

hah!

But really in boredom, I like to peruse random profiles and have seen profiles that age. Usually not active but crazy to think how young! I didn't even listen to any music until I was like 13 Shocked

As for swearing I've heard 9 year olds online with PS3 that used some pretty profane language. But that's getting off topic.

What people think is way more offensive than what they say.

I don't even know what I'm trying to say, so don't ask. Ermm

Going to try using a proper noun:

Penn & Teller: Bullsh*t

Will the correct name of this, sadly, no longer existent TV show be filtered?

Optional.

Also, it's funny we have a swear filter and a banner for a band called f**k the Facts sprawled over the top of the page at times. LOL

I don't give a f**k about it. I am used to limit the usage of profanity to speech when I'm in the mood for it.

Note: These asterisks were manually entered and not caused by PA's profanity filter.
