2. To plunder or destroy (of a city, etc.) as in warfare --vt

Call me crazy, but that sounds like the context/definition that has been cited as being used in the game.

I've never used the word that way in the game, but...

Rape 2 () [< L. rapa, turnip]  a plant of the mustard family...

We have a WINNER!!! "Man, I just turnip'd him!!!" 

[ROX]

Good Lawd!

On the boards and in the game the text mods & automods are already tighter than radio tower guy lines.  Sheesh!


Yesterday on the "Second Annual Aces High Recipe Swap" thread, I was recommending using a certian kind of mushroom in an oriental dish.

The auto-text-mod turned it into:  "poopake" mushrooms.                 


Anyone who has been anywhere more than >6K from one European Iberian Peninsula player (who will remain ID-less) knows that anything can happen on text or voice at anytime.  I am even impresed he is able to use some banned words as nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs all in the same sentance. 

If you have a collission (even by total accident) expect some pretty nasty items to pop up on bright white text.   

Anyone who has played the game more than a month knows this.  It's no secret that some folks use bad curse words...especially on VOX.

I play with headphones on when my 2 year old grand-daughter is around.  When she gets old enough to read, the "office" will be off limits while I'm flying.

If I had brought her into an environment that has a history wirdy-dords and inuendo and she saw/heard something bad it would be my fault for doing so. 

Would you take your kid into a biker bar--then get all up in some bikers face and get indignant after he curses after missing a billiards shot?  The answer is don't take your kid to a biker bar. 


On the other hand, those who abuse the .report feature need to be perma-banned from the game.

Get out the textbooks and re-write history...1930's  "The Mustard Turnip Of Nanking"!!!!

And even then - in the quote you've provided the word isn't applied to the orphans, it's something they "complained of".

Yes they complained of something that was done to them called "rape" that was not sexual in nature. Dang, get a clue ( I keep giving them (free of charge to the clueless (of course))).

And yes I looked it up on the internet, it took me 20 seconds. Since it satisfied your conditions for a retraction of your effluence, I stopped there. Can I expect you to live up to your word or is your character as impressive as your IQ.

To answer hibly's question. How could it possibly be sexual, last I checked, the human genitalia cannot, as of yet, be transported through the internet packet stream, thereby rendering forced sexual activity though a UDP or TCP internet connection an impossibility. We shall all have to wait for the IPvSex protocol to be implemented for that. I hear it will use port 69 and give a whole new twist to the practice of packet shaping.

I guess people shouldn't be named Dick either.   

I think the word  in question on this thread is just fine.  The PC folks don't need yet another word to up and  about.  Sheesh!


As for Dick?  I know you jest, but a ham radio friend of mine from Lake Geneva, WI is named....no joke...Dick Reamer.
Dick works at a plate company that makes plates for US Embassys.  Great guy...just his folks didn't put a lot of thought into his name.

These PC folks need to hide under the sheets and pretend all the bad things will just go away.

Would you take your kid into a biker bar--then get all up in some bikers face and get indignant after he curses after missing a billiards shot?  The answer is don't take your kid to a biker bar.

Yeesh.  Get over yourself, there's no way that AH even remotely resembles a biker bar on any level.

Some people need to think a little bit, is all.  Most of the folks I know (family, and their friends both) who ride generally don't walk into a restaurant, store or other public place where there are kids and run foul at the mouth any more than most other adults I know would.  (There are a couple of exceptions of course - just like there are any other time you lump a bunch of people together.) 

And that is the crux of Serenity's request - some folks are saying we should behave like adults when it comes to a particular subject that some find unnecessary and uncomfortable in nature, while some of us behave more like we need to stand around on 4 legs braying "Hee haw - Someone notice how cooooool I am!" anyway we can.

Behave however you want, you will anyway - just don't expect everyone to necessarily admire you for your ability to talk (or type) "tough guy".  Or expect other's to not say "Yeah, right" and roll their eyes when you pretend it's you meant it differently than you did.   

Those who have class are obvious - and those who don't are just as obvious.

nice vocabulary lol....words are never sexual ? Is that what you just said ? I see alot of work for lawyers recovering sexual harassment settlements and judgements . especially those that were awarded for email , phone calls , etc. ROFL . Bro u r funny <S>

That's nothing.  I worked as VP of Marketing for a company and one of the original investors and a member of the board of directors name was Dick Wiltz.  Nicest guy you'd ever meet but what the h@ll were his parents thinking?

Now there's a comment that shows a total disconnection with reality.



We have PLENTY of them on knights.  Maybe rooks & bish are perfect angels, I don't know, I don't fly there.

There are those who DO make the MA sound like a biker bar, especially on VOX.  I could name ID's, but everyone besides you seems seems to know who they are already.  I'd give you an example, but it would be in violation of the posting rules.

At least two guys have been punished so many times that they have changed their ID's and started over...but sadly continue their potty-mouthed ways.

A couple more I know have been text banned more than they have not been banned.

One guy normally sits at a highly contested base in a gv.  Everytime he get's picked off he goes into a drunken curse rage that sounds like Borat on a 5th of vodka...every other word is one of the "heavy seven".

I have never reported him because I figure that most everone else is.

So yeah...there are plenty of times when MA resembles a biker bar.



To dismiss it as if it were a lie shows a total lack of knowing what you are talking about.

two funniest names i ever heard

Mike Hunt and Joe king.

So, let me get this straight if I can ROX. 

A biker bar is by definition restricted to adults, at least by age.  AH is open to players of all ages.

And because of few potty mouths can't control themselves in AH (for example, like a couple of bikers going to a public park and then behaving inappropriately) - in your opinion, then everyone who want's to take their kids to the park should go somewhere else?

Your logic impresses me about as much as that of the King o' the Internet search's.

do some parenting quit expecting htc and the government to censor what u hear and read
if u dont like it squelch or detune its that simple this whole thread is like u taking a ride on a pirateship and telling the captain to tell the crew to watch their language i mean comon grow a set
if im watching tv ie: politics and i dont like what their saying i pick up the remote raise my finger and press the up or down button as far as kids go .......u know this language occurs be a responsible parent and explain to ur kids whats right and whats wrong ...be a parent my 2 cents

btw im a father aswell with a 7yr old ....i use a headset when i play

[ROX]

Thought my (in English) post was pretty simple.

Let's see...if you KNEW IN ADVANCE that some people showed up at that park on a pretty regular basis that behaved inappropriately, and it could happen pretty much at ANY time, you'd still take your kids to that park?

Why don't you just drop off your kids at Michael Jackson's house with a few bottles of wine?

Glad you weren't my parent.
