    im offended

    there is something in the rules about using foreign languages in signatures and/or titles yet i see many people doing it.

    this is really starting to offend me.
    if you haven't considered chapter 7 bankruptcy, maybe you should.

    It's hard to clarify that which we can't see.

    Please give us an example. Maybe you can expound on "lots of them," with just one clear example?

    And it offends you because?

    I get that someone may be slightly askew of the rules but I am willing to bet no one has "I hate LaurenStevens" in Swahili. So chill out a bit.

    Based on some of the posts Lauren makes, I'm willing to bet the contrary

    Lauen is correct in that foreign languages isn't allowed.
    All publicly displayed messages are limited to the English language. This includes posts, titles, signatures, and any attachments or other forms of public display.
    But the title she reported wasn't a foreign language per se.

    Kinda like me saying I am a proud ocker

    well, it is the new trend to be offended by christmas trees, religion, television and so forth.

    so why cant i be offended by not being able to break the same rules that others do?

    if i cant have merry christmas in my user title, then i think the no foreign language thing should be upheld.

    DOCTOR! DOCTOR! ONE OF OUR PATIENTS HAS ESCAPED!

    Gasp!

    We must return her. We must return her.

    They're coming to take me away.. ho ho
    They're coming to take me away.. ha ha
    Ho ho he he ha ha

    To the funny farm
    Where everything is happy
    and everything is white.


    Lighten up. This is a forum. People aren't saying Happy Chanukah or anything like that. I believe it's even.

    Want to say something? Happy Holidays? Maybe that would work without excluding other religions holidays?

    So one is to think you had Merry Christmas in your user title....and a mod warned you or you were asked to "remove" it?
