> susan used a word that offended you so you asked her to rephrase her post. Then, without using any more language that would offend you you ceremoniously block her for 2 weeks. What prompted you to imposed such a harsh penalty on someone who called herself an @ss not someone else, someone who appeared to unbegrudgingly rephrase her post as you requested?

> TophI thought she was replying to AdaGrace, not rephrasing what I asked her to, but I do now think this should only be for 1 week, so I've made that change.
> Is the offending word not synonymous with "donkey"? To mean stupid, obtuse, dull witted. My understanding of Susan's post is that she was intending precisely that, and was not referring to body parts.

> vwoolfAccording to the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary:
A perissodactyl mammal, a stupid person, and buttocks are different uses of the word, and the last two are both often vulgar.
