British cigarette autocensor.

That autocensor for... you know what is really starting to get on my nerves. I don't mind autocensors since they give us hilarity like fvck and wombat, but that shit is way too distracting.

Your freedom to add and change rules in the middle of the game is in direct conflict with my ability to understand that rules system before I decided whether or not to join your game.

In short, your entire post is dismissive of not merely my intelligence, but my agency. And I don't mean agency as a player within one of your games, I mean my agency as a person. You do not want me to be informed when I make the fundamental decisions of deciding whether to join your game or buying your rules system.

It's annoying by design. Don't use the word (or any of its derivatives) and your problem goes away.

The Westboro Baptist Church came up. They have a certain proclivity for the word. Still, seems like an edge case.
