I rather think James helping people, "in uniform" and bearing a rather sinister looking shield more than likely qualifies.

As a duck?!

Re: Magic

Well, the boy can indeed be a tad daffy at times, as was evidenced in issue 31 where after his intervention (or lack thereof) the subsequent situation mayhaps could most accurately be referred to as, "Donald".

(As in the concise version of the complete ****ney rhyming parlance, "Donald Ducked". Not sure if that's Comic Code Approved mind).

P.S. Doing a quick 'preview', I noticed some asterisks appearing in what was perhaps the least offensive part of my missive. What kind of mad, Fascist spellchecker or whatever have you got running here Dave?

Help, help, I'm being repressed!

Just be glad you were not comparing my writing to Charles ****ens or Michael Moor****!

The default runboard naughty-word filter favours a brute-force approach instead of using (undoubtedly more complicated) context-based rules. I can't override it for this forum. Something to do with the laws of the country that physically hosts the servers, I believe.

Re: Magic

So presumably even you being the titular head of this board can't override it?
Well, that's completely bloody Donald that is!

(Many apologies if this is old hat to more experienced members of the board. I just fancied a bit rant, ha ha).

P.S. Obviously just being juvenile there and had a go to see what I can get away with. Fortunately titular and bloody are okay!
Viva la Revolution!

Re: Magic

Individual users can turn off the filters, though. I never see asterisks any more, as mine is disabled.

Re: Magic

Wahey! Freedom of expression is preserved!
Well, providing I can fumble my way through the filter adjustments.

Ta very much Ray!

And asterisks be damned!
