I think that would lead to an AR that would actually be followed up. *grins*

‘Shoot’ eh? I have a push gun somewhere, maybe we can blast Lindens out of their own office hours? ;)

Actually, finding the examples is fun. (And I’ve even learned some new words.)

But as I said in the former comment, if you have a better plan of action then talking to Lindens during their office hours and mentioning it as a ‘bug’ on Jira, shoot… =d

If you want to keep throwing with examples, be my guest, there are plenty.

It is Linden Lab who we should convince, not the other readers on this blog.

Aha… euhm.. Looker, and what is the plan of action you have for us? *grins*

I think we all are convinced of that, having “rude” names in RL, which are normal, and the stupidity of Linden to have blocked “ass” from the search.
It is Linden Lab who we should convince, not the other readers on this blog. There are enough examples in RL to endorse our point of view, we can go on like this forever.:)

Van De Cloot, Neuckermans,… “rude” words in Dutch/Flemish, but , on the other hand, “common” and accepted family names in the same flemish speaking part of Belgium…

so, if we are not offended by these names in RL, why should we be in SL, where most peoples tolerance limits are stretched far beyond the onces they live by in RL.. ?

Which reminds me of this classic from bash.org:

*** Now talking in #christian

-Word_of_God- Welcome Abstruse to #christian I am a Bible Bot. For more info type: /msg Word_of_God !info

!kjv numbers 22:21

Numbers 22:21 — And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab. - (KJV)

*** SageRider sets mode: +b *!*@c211-30-208-111.rivrw3.nsw.optusnet.com.au

*** Word_of_God was kicked from #christian by SageRider (Please dont Swear)

I know I’m never going to be able to come back in this channel again after this, but damn was it worth it to see that…

ah, which reminds me, in an ancient ‘polyglot’ HTML chatroom I frequented you couldn’t write ’shit’. That gave some strange problems too - the one example I remember is that of a large company called ‘Matsushita’.
