Dr Bob had the ability to add the [*], so he must have the ability to change the rest of it to x's

I agree with Nikki.
>Lou, even WITH the question mark, it is still able to be seen as offensive. With the question mark I see it as you asking whether she could be the antichrist.
And I would like to request that this thread be reserved for VOTING on the poll.
There is already a thread for 'Lou's Response to the Poll' and I would request that you post your concerns there.
You are most welcome to start another poll with a question mark if you would like.
I apologise for not including the question mark. I was trying to be careful, but in hindsight I was not careful enough.

I am not a religious person, but due to the implications that word suggests even to me, I feel it should be x'd out.

I want to express my thanks and gratitude for the initiation of this poll and for the positive posts in reply to it on my behalf to have that word x'd out from beside my name.
You have all shown me great love and compassion for my feelings. I can't thank you enough.

Doc,
I cannot fathom why you have failed to respond to this poll in any way, shape, or form. It really does make me furious; it makes me feel upset, like you're just sitting back, watching this unfold like a tinhorn god, and f*cking with all of us through your lack of responsiveness and inaction just to see how far this will go. I feel like a dog or cat that's being mercilessly teased. Are we, in the end, just your lab animals after all -- despite all of your protestations to the contrary? I'm really beginning to believe so.

I would think that, given the nature of this site and the reasons people frequent, and continue to frequent it, a subject line that has caused a poster such emotional distress would be taken care in such a manner so as to alleviate any emotional suffering on the part of that poster. That this situation has been allowed to fester and cause even more angst is beyond me. Removing the offending word is not only the civil and practical thing to do, but also the humane thing to do. Have the people not spoken?Please don't ignore people's pleas.

Hmm. Maybe 'petition' would have been better than 'poll'.
Deep breaths Atticus, wait and see... wait and see...
Don't you dare get yourself blocked.

I am overwhelmed by the support that has been shown to me in this poll. To see words of such passion and conviction helps me to feel like maybe people actually do like me, that I am a likable person afterall.
Dr. Bob, that word is extremely upsetting to me but I strongly believe that it is very upsetting to others here as well.
Please hear our pleas. Why is it so hard for you to show us the support that we are looking for? I can not understand even one reason why that word needs to remain in that subject line with my name. It has now archived but my feelings remain unchanged.

Lou apologized. The word was asterisked.
Being offended to the nth degree is offensive in itself.

I can no longer do this. I've taken several Xanax, but not enough to overdose, so don't worry. I feel like I am now having a nervous breakdown. I can't take anymore. I'm so sorry that I have let you all down. I appreciate all your loving support but I've had more than I can deal with. I'm without a T for 3 more weeks.

Its not a swear word per se, but it you have to agree, that using a subject like that looks like you are suggesting someone is the Anti Christ, especially for a Christian, is pretty offensive, no?

There would be thousands of words that could be given the xxxxx treatment, why should this one be singled out for special treatment?

Kenny,
You wrote,[....special treatment...].
There is a large body of posts here that are possibly interconnected in regards to what you have observed as are you a casual observer? It could take a large amount of time to answer your question from my point of view, so could you perhaps look through some of the archives? If not, I am answering these type of posts by myself, although recently a poster named verne has posted somewhat to my point of view,and some others also, and hope to uncover what is not perhaps visible to one immediatly that is new to this forum since this is the first time that I have seen your name.

Kenny,
The topic here is linked to the social board also. And you could go back one archive on this admin. board.
What is a kerfuffel?

I have been avoiding actually posting this.
I think one way for Lou to look at this, is if a subject line said "Lou Pilder-Nazi?"
I hope that might make things clearer, as I think we can ALL agree that that would be inapprpriate.

Lou:
I have a sincere question for you about your shorthand. These are some examples of your shorthand in the past: asposigs, pubgud, clorevisn, salonly, misclerup. Why didn't you abbreviate ANTICHRIST in the same way that you did in the examples above to Angel Girl? Just curious.
