Just cause u or anyone calls someone a phallus doesnt make it an insult

not everyone does it, blaming all just cause of a few is wrong, not just in this situation but in all situations

You are right and wrong. Depends on the point of view.
What I wanted to prove and what also mr ~Freespirit~ did is that what is offending to one is not offending for others. The users abide by the rules of this forum and that word is not censored yet because it might not be offending to the majority. You can suggest it to be included in the filter though if it`s such a big deal and next time when someone uses it, it will be a rule breach.

Indeed u have to set an example for ur customers but your customers also need to respect u else its a 1 way street

the word in question is offensive no matter how you see it,,,,,obviously as you rightly say some people might take offense in something another would not.....but surely that's the whole point of having a rule base.....one by which we all adhere.

@ freespirit if another version of that word gets picked up by the word filter that would suggest the meaning of the word is not acceptable
