Starting May 1st they will further examine ostensibly private communicatiosn for 'offensive language' and 'inappropriate content' for the purpose of blocking. The changes are rolled out as part of a new terms of service advisory for the company's many services.

Microsoft will ban 'offensive language' and 'inappropriate content' from Skype, Xbox, Office and other services on May 1, claiming it has the right to go through your private data to 'investigate.'

    Yes, this ^ !!!

    You, the reader, have every right to be offended at ANYTHING that I, or any other member, might post on this forum. Anything at all. We, the members, are under no obligation to give the smallest of damns that you might be offended. Deal with it, you sniveling puke! (That last was intentionally offensive, and I'll be offended if you fail to take offense.)

    I'm sorry, I really tried, but I was unable to be offended by your comment. Perhaps if you would include some Vogon poetry?

      It is hard to actually be offended by Runaway. To begin with, he is so ignorant, and that excuses much. And he tries to be a provocateur, but fails quite badly because he is so ignorant, as previously mentioned. So there is nothing left but accusations of pederastry, which are so blasé and obviously a projection of his own dark psyche. . . Too dark, actually. Once a Sailor, always the buggery. I am never offended by Runaway. Instead, I have pity upon him. Poor Runaway!
