That is still a swear word to me.

But it isn't even a real word.

How do you define swear word?

The entire concept of forbidden words is its own bizarre train wreck.

Oh well. I have better things to do.
I will be utilizing the ignore and report buttons for sure from now one. (Not for this post, don't worry, you have a right to voice your opinion. )
~Merry Christmas

Directed at someone or just in general?

I've seen both.

It's a swear word because that was your sneaky way around writing it.

There are lots of loopholes and it is inevitable that people will find them.
A lot of rules are subject to the interpretation of who is enforcing them.

I think the same could be said for so many different thread topics. That is the beautiful thing about living in America, we are free to the will of our own minds, but this does not mean others cannot rejoice in their beliefs. Perhaps people our praising God for creating chickens, and all our other beloved pets, they're happy.

Merry Christmas everyone! Keep your head up high @Cyprus.

Now I'm curious to see what users living outside of the United States of America think.
Unrelated, but I have found Germany and her citizens to be a lot more enjoyable than almost every American I have come to know.

I did. To little avail.

The thing to remember about reporting a post is that reporting the post does not automatically mean the outcome is going to be what you want it to be. Reporting the post simply means that it will be reviewed by a member of the administrative team and, if the post is found to be in violation of any of the terms of service for this forum, may be edited or removed with the member possibly facing some sort of reprimand. The problem with expecting a report to result in exactly the outcome you are looking for is that just because a post seems to be in violation to you or is offensive to you, it does not mean that it is in fact in violation of the terms of service… and that is why we have the administrative and moderation team to make those determinations. So just because you reported something and the outcome was not what you wanted does not mean that the reporting function does not work

Maybe so, things look a lot different from the outside, and our outlook depends on our mindset and what or how we want to see things. I'd like to visit Germany someday, the landscape there is beautiful.

I didn't say the report function doesn't work. I wasn't accusing anyone of not doing their job and I certainly wasn't saying things had to be my way.
If people chose to volunteer to moderate that is fantastic for them, their choice, and criticism will happen.
