Right, I have to mention this to you guys. I was yikesed yesterday for an entry where I put this t**t. It was removed. I've just read the house rules and it says you can swear as long as you star the middle letters. That is what i have done. So why the removal? Do you guys like Liam Neeson or something? I cannot check my e-mail at the moment so can you tell me why here and now. If there is no reason for it then kindly reinstate my witty and insightful comment!
Cheers.

Speaking generally, mild swearing may be permissable in certain contexts, but we'd prefer you not to swear at all. But even if you star out swear words, if the general tone of your posting is felt to be inappropriate, the Moderators may remove the post entirely.

Oh, Ok. I was only slagging off Liam Neeson, which I think is not only appropriate but essential!
I still think it should be re-instated, but not my decision right?
