I rsign from SR

I sometimes use the most mild expilictives on SR, I am not a swearer by nature but when freedom of speech is so restricted there is no freedom. My love to all and god's bye to you.

There's a filter that comes with this forum software - it's always been there - if thats what happened, I wouldn't take it personally at all.

There's a lot of different types of people here Fitz - we're just trying our best to keep everyone in the tent

not sure whats going on Fitz but I hope you reconsider.

The freedom to swear is not really the first right I'd make a stand for

Sometimes it just feels good to swear. Saying "gosh darn it" is not as satisfying as dropping the F bomb for some people. No worries. No need to leave SR.

I don't know Fitz...... I'd have to think that it wouldn't make this forum any better. Is that really what's upsetting you?

It's your decision Fritz but leaving would be doing yourself and us a disservice.

Awww, come on, Fitz. I can't believe you would leave SR just because the software filters out cuss words. I know you've been through a lot lately, but really, it's not worth giving up a support network. I hope you'll sleep on it and come back tomorrow with a different outlook.

(((Fitz))) - the filter does the **** thing on me, all the time. I've had a couple posts removed..not important ones, but it didn't really bother me. That's because SR is such a big part of my recovery.

You're part of the family here, so I hope you reconsider.

Hugs and prayers,

Amy

I hope to wake up in the morning and see a post from you. Last time when you were sick and wasn't posting I was worried about you. Stay with us. We all need each other.

Sometimes it is okay to lose the battle, if we all win the War.. .. Right?

SR is about a community after all. We have the whole of our offline lives to be individuals. Communities require some sacrifice to make them work.

Hopefully you will reconsider, and not take something that is equally applied to all members, so personally... Because you obviously mean a lot to many members.

Oh ****!

Seriously, Fitz, you need to reconsider. This is a room full of drunks and drug addicts, not a Disney princess tea party. In the real world, I use obscenities as a form of punctuation. The only thing that would bother anyone would be your disappearance. You're among friends. Give yourself and everyone else here the benefit of the doubt, OK?

Well, I have to confess, Fitz, that my walls are in need of a washing because of the expletives that fly out of my mouth on a daily basis.

But filters are filters. I've seen people in Florida mention Boca Raton and it gets edited. Wonder if they fixed that yet? I guess I'll find out when I post this.

I hope you reconsider, and I'm also wondering if filtering works on PM?

Feel free to PM and drop DA BOMB at me.

All my best.....

If I have ever been filtered I am not aware. Usually online, I try not to have potty mouth. It does happen, SR has been very accepting of me and my quirks in general. I hope you stay Fitz!

And I thought you were such a nice young man!

Fitz, most of us need to swear, for fck's sake. But you were a teacher - you know that freedom of speech is a lie. Not for censorship, but for community. Here in the UK, the C word (I mean ****, not community ) is like a friendly greeting, and one that my H and I use regularly for each other. In America I know that for a lot of people it's practically seen as the mark of the beast. I don't want someone sweet and innocent like ZenCat to come on to my posts and get all upset, so SR makes sure he's not going to.

Shared language. Don't take it personally. You need this place.

Still
xx

too bad,
I wanted to quit for an almost similar reason on a buddhist forum,
So glad I stayed,
Dee74 corrected me a few times on my postings here on SR personally,
I'm really glad he did/does (lol, till we meet again),
It helps me grow,
Life is filled with rules and restrictions,
Everywere,

Still hoping this was just a lash-out concerning the swearing and such,
And you get the @#$@#$ back over here Fitz
