The disappearing thread

Probably taken down for moderation. 

Which thread?

Possibly something to do with a CD player that got mended? Now that that I have mentioned that, this thread may disappear too

Maybe it contained one of the seven words you can never use on the forum .

Which seven words ?

I could try to print them here but Hoop.la or the moderators would edit or delete them

Actually, my reference to the "seven words" was a deferent homage to the great comedian George Carlin, the words to his spiel shown below. Several of us must be old enough to remember that great monologue? I know from first-hand experience that #1 will print here, though I've never attempted to use the other six.

Perhaps the thread contained an over-bearing sense of entitlement. Now, that's offensive.

Charles, a post on the thread in question was reported to the moderators.  As is policy, the thread was moved to the admin area for review and any suitable action.  I removed a few of the last posts which seemed to go off on a tangent, didn't seem particularly relevant, and were a bit too personal.  That done, the thread is back in the Hifi Corner.

Richard,

Thanks for that, I can guess which.

Regards Charles.

"Which seven words?"... to be honest I'm sorry I asked.  I've not heard of George Carlin, I have to admit, but his observation of human curiosity is very accurate.

Of the seven words to which he is accredited above, only the first is in my own vocabulary, and I couldn't imagine using that as a descriptor on this forum... no, wait a minute... yes I can imagine a situation where this word would be appropriate.

You know the first of those second words but not the second... You must be a medical curiosity :-)

Well there is a town in Wicklow that Charles Stewart Parnell lived in that can't be mentioned on the Naim forum. 

I also previously had trouble with Sunny Scunny, but Hoopla may be more intelligent than the old system. 

one hears so little of the nVi anymore that I am prone to wonder if it one of the seven.

I just spent a minute mentally traversing Wicklow, trying to find towns with "ooh-missus" sounding names (Roundwood - f'nur, f'nur) before the penny finally dropped.

I just posted a reply to Joerand's post above - the one with the picture of George Carlin - and it got flagged for moderation, despite my taking great care to redact any naughty words. I did include a link, but it was to another post on this forum; perhaps Hoopla isn't clever enough to tell an internal link from an external one. <sigh>

I recently used word #1 in a post. The sentence in question was "The ATCs won out because they were the only speaker to, pardon my French, put a silly [redacted]-eating grin on my face." I couldn't figure out why the post never appeared, and eventually gave up. The next day I received an email saying that my post had gone into moderation and had been approved. When I then looked at the post, I saw that the sentence in question had been changed to "The ATCs won out because they were the only speaker to put a silly grin on my face."

Now I can't shake the image of Richard clutching his pearls and reaching for the smelling salts ...

Father forgive them for they don't know what they do.....while not actually not seven....., but they are know like that. By the way also a great piece of chamber music with this name (string quartet).

I have no problem with two feathered tits

George Carlin's "seven dirty words" comedy routine went so far as to be used in arguments for freedom of speech in front of the US Supreme Court in 1978. Number 2 has since become passé as the term "pissed-off" is now accepted vernacular on US television broadcasts. Today, number 4 remains the most reprehensible on the list, and I consider that along with the "n-word" the two foremost words I'd never consider using - FWIW.
