How so? I'm not trying to be smart at all, I'm genuinely curious.

For the record, I wouldn't have done anything if I wasn't absolutely certain that any mod would have done the same. And I checked with one of the chat mods (NiTessine) for confirmation of my instincts. And if I am wrong, trust me, I will be taken to task for it.

Enforcing "Granny's Rules" aren't a part of my retinue of responsibilities around here. Since I have had admin status to help with site maintence (or some critics would muse destruction) this is only the second time I've used the proverbial big switch. If something like this gets posted again and I spot it before the moderators and admins I will use it again because I care for this community.

Sorry,just wasn't aware you were an admin'/mod. I'm cool with the fact that it was possiblely offensive, and you felt it should go, but i don't think at all obviously offense. It looked like you were fling in on a high horse the way you told Agg he should know better. In this case it seems that posting the lyrics to a popular song with heavy radio rotation, and the bad words bleeped, is kinda borderline. I don't think anyone should scolded for a mistake like that.

I care a lot about this community too, and would hate to see it go down the tubes. Also for the record i would not have comment further if not asked to, the last thing i want is to offend anyone or break the rules here, especially over something as minor as this. Anywho, i hope you see where i'm coming from on this Michael.

I'm not - but to be able to modify the stylesets the admin switch is turned on for my account. I'm not to use the moderation related admin features except in an emergency. I felt this to be an emergency.

There are two versions of the song, and Agg posted the explicit version. I own the album in question and have heard the version that gets radio airplay - they are quite different and that most certainly wasn't the radio version.

I see where you're coming from but I happen to disagree with your assessment that it was borderline. No hard feelings or anything.

Anyway, let's discuss more merrier things than board rules and regs. Like - which one of those comics are you reading first?

Pkitty gave me permission to kill something excessively vulgar, and that song is certainly so. NiTess over in chat agrees, so down it goes. You should know better Agemmam.

I don't really see how it offensive.

I wasn't aware there were two versions, this is the only I ever heard or even heard of. And I also own the album, The Eminem Show, and seriously, there are not two versions of that song, or any song for that matter on it.

But as always the mod decide. Now I just have to get filking.

Okay, let me try this yet again. Sir Osis, you get a lot of books. Here are my thoughts:

Green Lantern #173, Batman #623, The Legion #29
Okay, standard D.C. classics there.

amazing spider-man #503, silver surfer #5, Fantastic four #509, Daredevil#56
I use to collect these, but have little to no interest in the current runs

ultimate Fantasuc four #2, Ultimate six #6
Never got into the Ultimate universive, both Piratecat and my sister rave about Ultimate Spiderman, and I've read them, but I'll stick with the originals.

Wolverine#10, Captian marvel#19, x-treme x-men# 40
I actually pick up these series at the comic shows when I can find them for $1 or less. Entertaining, but I wouldn't pay full retail. Extreme has really gone downhill since Larocca left.

Emma Frost #7, Mystique#10
Except for eXiles and Extreme I've given up on the X-Books, and have never really cared for either of these characters.

venom #10, Human torch#9, punisher#2
More characters I have no interest in.

Exiles#41
Get this one myself. I like the Exiles issues, but could skip the Weapon X ones.

hawkeye#4
Almost picked this one up. Am a big fan of Thunderbolts, and am looking forward to the upcoming mini-series.

Green Lantern #173, Batman #623, The Legion #29
Okay, standard D.C. classics there.

That pretty much sums things up nicely, although i really just started batman because of the Loeb/lee run. I've been hooked on loeb sence his lauching of X-MAN during the AoA, and Jim Lee sence his run on unncanny.

amazing spider-man #503, silver surfer #5, Fantastic four #509, Daredevil#56
I use to collect these, but have little to no interest in the current runs

right now Amazing, and Daredevil have some of the best creative teams out there. Amazing is better now then it has been in as long as i can remeber, and DD as been amazing sence the Marvel Knights relaunch. Fantasic Four i started getting because of Claremont and Larrocca, i love those guys as a team, it's gone down hill a bit sence then, but the current team isn't doing horrible. I'm really looking forward to 4, the new MK title. Finally the surfer has a solid artist on boared and the story is pretty good. Defiantly a unique perspective.

ultimate Fantasuc four #2, Ultimate six #6
Never got into the Ultimate universive, both Piratecat and my sister rave about Ultimate Spiderman, and I've read them, but I'll stick with the originals.

The origanals are great, but that don't stop me from lovin the ultimate versions too.

Wolverine#10, Captian marvel#19, x-treme x-men# 40

Larrocca should never have been taken off extreme. As for Captain Marvel and Wolverine, niether is the best it's ever been, but they're still damn good.

Emma Frost #7, Mystique#10
Except for eXiles and Extreme I've given up on the X-Books, and have never really cared for either of these characters.

I'm an X addict. I collect every x book except X-statics (which i gave a chance even though it's horrible.

) These two were never favorites of mine either, and i thought they were gonna suck, but it just goes to show how imprortant good creative teams are. It turns out both are very good reads.

venom #10, Human torch#9, punisher#2
More characters I have no interest in.

Agian didn't have much hope for venom or the torch, but they got solid writers and artists. I was especially surprised how good the human torch turned out to be. as for the Punisher, Garth Ennis rocks. Now that it's a MAX title i expect it to get even better.

Exiles has been great from the start, it's version of Mimic is probably one of my favorite characters in comics today.

Hawkeye i got to fill the T-bolts viod, and cause Nicieza's been a favorite of mine sence the new warriors.
