Knob is not a swear word in the English language, yet in modern day urban slang it is. I would have thought that most posters would have the intelligence to know this and not use it even though it is not filtered out. It speaks volumes for our culture when the Eskimos have a dozen or sos for a type of snow, we have a similar number ofs for a willy.

Some people also view the word Eskimo as derogatory. Inuit is more appropriate.[/quote]

I thought this was an urban myth, unless they are Inuit? Seem to remember QI doing a piece on Esk... I mean Inu... I mean people who live in the Artic circle regularly![/quote]

I think in certain regions, especially Canada it is seen as offensive. I think Eskimo is still commonly used in the Artic Circle.

Either way it's shut Awkward up for a

Inuit is a subset of Eskimo used most commonly in the United States for Yupik and Inupiat tribes it does not acually cover the Yupik tribes.

A bit like calling people from Asia just Indian when it covers other nations also.

We are one week away from a Wembley appearance.

There have been a number of posters banding around the same word, I think an underlying warning to move on from it - probably from the site editor - would have been sufficient.

I think it is a real shame and quite negative to lose important posters on this board in such an important and exciting week. Not sure how long those bans are for but I hope they are no more than 24 hrs otherwise some sensible leniency is required to change them.

And can everyone else quit with the calling, at least until after the final please!

I echo this, anything over a 24hr ban is over the top (if it wasn't already). It risks alienating not just the posters in question but others too.Its a big week or 2 we need all our posters posting.[/quote]

Rammondo - As always the voice of reason.

I have come out of retirement in the hope that Bloomer will show a bit of leniency an end the ban early enough for everyone concerned to make contact to obtain their place at Wembley. I think there may be a mass exodus from the MB if this isn't resolved.

Also does anyone who still posts in this board know dcfcdavecov a
