That is a valid question and just minutes before reading your post in the "SDC lingo problem" topic on the other board I actually did some edits in the censors in order to avoid this problem.Most of those words filtered are not offensive but there are many good reasons for avoiding "SDC lingo" in this forum.When members are asked to follow this guideline but still ignores it the options are unfortunately limited.One is obviously banning but that is usually a bit of overkill for such situations and I can't remember anyone yet having been banned for that reason only. Da SDC is a community which has found its own niche which of course deserves to be respected for what it is. I am however a bit suprised that even if one of it's keywords appears to be "respect" a few of it's members do apparently have problems with showing respect for the culture and guidlines we have here.

* "methuselah" is here given, of course, in its specific context of a multiple of a single wine bottle quantity rather than as the Biblical character with whom "pianistimo" is almost certainly more familiar that is any one of the rest of this community...
Woo hoo I learned a new word XD
"Methuselah lived nine hundred years"which, as doubtless you well know, comes from the Gershwin song "It Ain't Necessarily So". I have cited the lines from it"The things that you're li'bleTo read in the BibleIt ain't necessarily so"
i shall now resort to calling alistair 'aliztah' just to bug him (but only in pm messages so nils won't get angry).
just when i think he's making peace and amends. (rather like thal - i must say. you bring not peace but a sword. the sword of 'i'll get you on a thread you'll never read.')
well, mr alistair - i just so happened to be bored tonight and read this thread.
but, i am curious about that bottle of 900 year old wine. where did you find that? or, are you saying you wish to equally divide up methusalah 9 ways - giving each of us roughly 100 years to attain wisdom only to drink ourselves silly in the end?
