Was wondering why when people post things, they purposely mis-spell things like 'Phat Walet' and such. Is there a rule around here I'm missing? I didn't see it, but it seems to be prevalent. Someone please explain this to me?

People still say eGay or FleaBay when eBay has been off the blocked word list for a while now.

eBay!

Yes at one time you would get 'the treatment' for such transgressions.Since those times the age of enlightenment has swept over us all like a wet towel.
