    I can understand your angst, it would lessen society if using this word became the norm

    No it wouldn't, people would just find another word to take the place of the word which had become normal.

    There was once a time when 'damn' would never be uttered in public - now it's said on TV at all hours of the day. There was once a time when a certain word beginning with C would never have been said on TV, now you hear it every now and then after 9.00.

    This happens, swear words start off as shocking and highly offensive to some uptight people, but over time they gradually lose their strength and new words come in to replace them.

    As noted I can't post it uncensored. I can of course write it in the main site as and when I deem appropriate - but not within the forum

    Since you are neither Martin, nor anyone employed to contribute to the main site, I suspect the answer will be no.

    The rules you're moaning about apply to the message boards.

    The main site, where the picture was placed, isn't the message boards.

    Where did I moan about a picture? Martin can use the word a.r.s.e...why can't we all?
