I was just told that you can't use the p word on a PJ forum. While I understand the word can take on some pretty negative connotations, I don't think using the phrase 'p-grabber' should be an issue. But, that's the question.

Should "p-grabber" with the full spelling of the "p" be allowed?

    unbelievable. i can't believe i renewed my subscription. it's like the band is trying to silence Trump critics. A SEXUAL PREDATOR represents this country and we aren't allowed to speak openly regarding the actions/language of this man. This is not the PJ I once knew. Facebook has a worldwide audience and there is no censorship there. But a forum full of die hard music fans are not allowed to use the phrase 'p-grabber'. amazing.

    The band is not trying to silence anybody. The moderators are trying to keep this place from descending into the chaos that you find on FB and other platforms, and Trump critics have had wide lattitude to trash him at will.
    In this case, I agree that since he is our POTUS now, we should be able to use his words.
    I do not agree that this place should be without censorship.

    no need to say the p word. everyone knows what are you talking about when referring to Trump's words. just call him a sexual predator or sexual assaulter.

    I think thee should be some sort of moderation. I do not think we should be censored. The all ages forum guideline is used very liberally here. I like seeing what the mods think is appropriate for children and what is not.

    On the same page, DF. Plus the word (any word) is still the word whether said explicitly or spelled with # or * or other symbols. Context is fucking important!

    No need to disrespect women by saying the P word. For real? Have some respect for context!!

    With censorship of particular words, yeah, I agree.

    i get it. had it been 20 years ago. this would have been different. no one had kids then. do you really think kids haven't heard and use the p-word on a daily basis? Words are words. Actions like grabbing p are much different and they need to be talked about. Let's be allowed to use the words that describe the action the way our leader does. and then let's decide if we like the action or not. then and only then will it be okay not to use the word/phrase.

    I'm incredulous that this is a real question being asked. If Trump was Emperor of the Universe this expression would remain as inappropriate as it was today, and as it was when Trump was not President-Elect. We shouldn't stop asking why he said it, but we certainly shouldn't validate its use in our standard vernacular.

    Relax. No one in the band is moderating. And facebook threads get deleted all the time by whover the mods are in those.

    It was created for college students. You originally had to have a .edu email address to join.
    Hence the name.

    the mods decide the content since this is a pay-only all ages forum. they want all customers to be and feel included, those of all ages.

    that being said, I don't understand the inconsistency of starting a thread with the F word in it being allowed, but a post can't have the P word in it. it's odd to me. they are all curse words. why is one worse than the other? also, marijuana is still illegal federally and in many states, so you can't say the P word, but you can tell the forum how illegally stoned you are. :rofl:
