**bleep** **bleep**
What's up doc?
Well, the whole thing was meant as a corny joke, but It's really kind of sad to see another media company try to censor its users, because it looks to me like the **bleep** bug was caused by a ham handed attempt at censorship. Don't get me wrong, IMO profanity has no place here, but to **beep** out the name of a old German political party seems excessive to me. Oh well, their board, their rules.
Anytime I have to deal with these companies robo-answering systems, I feel like strangling the telephone. Unfortunately some of their web sites are dysfunctional also. This site works, and there is a myAccount and Billing section available. Most of the people around here are also helpful and nice.
Thanks for your kind remarks, but I'll warn you that I'm not very popular with the old hands and management around here.
BTW I'm few weeks away from 73.
I'm pretty sure it's to cut down on political statements, potentially offensive tropes, as well as other offensive labels where people appear 'heavy handed'.

It's a privately owned site -- they can censor whatever they want.

Like I said before, their board, their rules.

Cussing and trolling are not PC; they're tacky, low class, and ill-mannered, especially in public. Maybe they're trying to control the bleeping bleeps who seem to delight in this type of ill-bred behaviour.

I agree! Like I said before their board, their rules. I can't help it if I laugh at them when they become too PC though.
