..la parola 'mancanta' era 'stronzo'.
PLEASE READ THROUGH TO THE END, THANK YOU.
The previous post to this, which has now been removed by the author, had been tampered with by 'the powers thst be' - airbrushed and thus censored. 'Maybe' this is better than pulling it competely, ( debatable) but again this raises some serious issues - personally I don't think it acceptable to do this without notifying and consulting the original author - who may well have made a better or different job of it, had they thought fit.
Having said that i applaud the fact that faced with a possible difficult decision 'the deed' was done quickly and with some skill so that the post need not have just disappeared into thin air, but no follow up with the original author occured.
REASON FOR POST:
I was not saying the 's' word personally - but showing a record of someone else's 'use of it' within the context of semantics in an 'unendorsed piece' displayed quite openly on a public piece of pavement - which I found thought provoking and amusing, indeed, in part the original author of the 'piece' having deployed some degree of censorship themselves by placing the 's' word in brackets ( now airbrushed out anyway ). Besides it could also be regarded simply as a chalk mark on a pavement - it is only our blinkered perception that jumps to a preset conclusion, perhaps we should not be so quick to think we know exactly what we are looking at.
I could go on, but have better things to do. I will however continue to argue the case against censorship and the tampering of other people's posts untill I have received a valid reason for it's deployment.
I'm sure we all 'feel' we have better things to do than wrangle the case of whether a word that simply describes what it is other than in 'nursery terms' is acceptable...but just where is all this 'censorship absurdity' going to end up?
Attention.
I percieve now of a toolbox. This toolbox is able to do things that no other toolbox can. Until ALL builders posess this same toolbox, with the same inherant advantages, nothing useful will be built.
End of Attention.
three thoughts:
1) the death of the author
2) wiki-culture
3) censorship as the ultimate compliment

1- author as pluralist
2- greater 'access' / less 'research'

..what happened to muscular hypertonality?
'This invalid expects valid answers to valid questions'
Deleted, I deemed it it bad taste. Myself, more to follow
..well, your decision of course but I didn't find it in bad taste. I found it a refreshing 'blast', as it were. Curiously I have the opposite of of hypertonality - hypotonality, which may make me 'an elastic'.
