Nasa Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 I think it's annoying, but I just have to put a period somewhere in wome.n and I'm all set! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The purpose of the "female" filter was to make fun of people who use that term to refer to women. That's not going to be clear to people who don't post that much or don't spend any time outside the blink section, so it's a bit of an issue in that regard, but it's pretty easy to explain. I get the joke, take no issue with the joke, I aint offended, but it makes generally posting annoying because it's a common enough set of words (girl, women, ladies, whatever) to cause problems in the flow of a post. "Me and my female friend watched Wonder Female what a bad film" if you add that with the anything homo = "Ethan" thing you just get a lot of confusing posts.

Like when thongrider made his list of top pop punk albums and one of them was "The ethans-Love Songs for the remarded." 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghent Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 We'll give them a break for awhile for the complainers, but filters will return! Blink online staple. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They bring people together! The inconvenience is what makes it so funny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 It's funny to the like 10 people in on the joke, to those who don't post everywhere / every week it's just a bit odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree. I didn't know why I was reading meat for the longest time and then found it hilarious once I found out. It probably just feels like b182online to everyone else.."oh this place is insane...I love it, and am going to keep coming back" 8 minutes ago, Ghent said: My mind is still blown that like a 50 year old man was truly and deeply offended that the words girl and woman were being filtered to FEMALE....(gasp!)

The best part is it was actually used to teach a lesson. Meat was short for Meathead 'cause I'm a huge All In The Family fan and Clarke reminded me of Meathead. He should have gotten the business end of Archie's boot (wink, @thongrider) but never did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghent Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 If you don't check the boards enough to catch onto any inside jokes here, then I don't feel like you're worthy to being catered to. If you don't get it, you should be able to move on pretty quickly. But since Mom and Dad (kay and davey) are upset, they will go away for a bit. Always good to give things a break 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always good to give things a break This attitude isn't really healthy if you also want the board to grow and attract new members? I'm not upset. I was never upset, hence not making an argument about it during the weeks of it's entire existence on here, or the months before that with the 'Ethan' issue, but as it was brought up and Jan suggested all the women think it's hilarious, I felt it prudent to weigh in. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing about this board is healthy or will attract new members. I've faced the facts lol. I'd rather just preserve what we have at this point. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
