Dear jollygrimreaper,
I have no problem with any users on this site and do not see why you of all people would think that.
I have checked the guidelines and cannot see why you would bring them to my attention, maybe I missed something but I cannot see how the post breaches any of the rules and guidelines.
If I am wrong in my understanding of the site rules and guidelines please give me some further guidance as to what your problem is with my posts?
'the is a family friendly forum' but I am not sure what is unfriendly towards familys about my post?

You really think 'asshole' is vulgar and unsuitable word for children to hear?
I think this could be rather subjective and open to interpretation, and actually you are censoring and being unreasonable in your treatement of this matter.
I would think readers of your site would be at least 11 years of age, as working unsupervised with the materials used in 3dprinting is unsuitable for anyone below that age. As far as I am aware use of the word 'asshole' is considered acceptable in published media and films rated 'R'.
I did not insult anyone or directly call cdru an 'asshole', and cdru actually said himself that he was an asshole, I only asked a question on the forum as I felt maybe I was being sensitive and cdru was being harsh with himself.
I feel that reasoned conversation should not be censored and arguments should be allowed stand on their own merits rather than administrators victimising some peoples free speech based on their own personal taboos and lack of understanding of memes. If you start preventing reasoned dialogue due to your own cultural taboos and fnords you are preventing understanding and progress due to small mindedness and refusal to ask questions and truely understand.
Choice of words is important, but we are all bounded by our own lexicon and finding the right words in context always has occasional errors, dialogue is the only way to get understanding. If you as a censor jollygrimreaper prevent dialogue you are doing a disservice to everyone.
Maybe 'asshole' was not the best word to use, but almost all higher descriptive words are metaphors and compounds derived from roots in other languages, I could ask my question another way and would it be reasonable to you?
If I asked if someone was being an nasty idiot would that be vulgar?
I know you just said 'for starters' and I assume you have further reasoned ammunition to justify your actions, so could you let me know ALL your other reasons now as it could save me a lot of time in the future.
Also if you could include a list of all banned words in the rules and guidelines it would help many of your users avoid falling into the trap of making poor usage of words (I am sure your forum software could also be setup to prevent usage of certain words and warn users before posting!).
