Does this mean that something I read on the Internet might not be true?

S2000 Talk makes a lot more sense under this paradigm.
For your advanced lesson in cynical suspension of belief, you can move on from S2000 Talk to Street Encounters.

Being in college I tend to use Wiki alot, but I will admit I do use it as a stepping stone to look up other information. Most teachers will not value a citation of information from Wiki, so we can't use it on papers that have a big percentage of our grade.

You mean that might not be true as well?

I'm going to have to reexamine my entire Internet experience now.

Including the pron.

I won't allow my students to use Wiki as a source, period.

Mike, I got it -- I just didn't know the word was censored and was harassing Raymo. But thanks -- I'm blonde enough in spirit that you can't be too sure with me.

It just shows the uselessness of server software trying to restrict specific words. One other board I was would not allow you to use the word "cockpit", but "pron" and "fu<k" and what have you make such rules ineffective anyway.

Yeah but if it keeps out the "element" that would find the site by doing a search for pron, then maybe it's still a good thing. We have enough of our own "element".
