about a week ago i started playing live chess on shockwave.com, as you do. then today i chatted to someone for the first time. they were just new to the game etc, so i was telling him nice ways to improve. like play a lot. then at the end i wished him "God bless". it came up as *****

shockwave.com seem to think that saying "God bless" is rather offensive and we souldn't be saying it. i think "dirty" is also a naughty word according to them, but i had given up trying to work out what was naughty and what wasn't as i was attempting to tell other people on that chat that God bless is naughty, but i just looked like i had verbal diarrhea so i decided to shut up...

so i shall say "peace be with you", in the vain hope that that doesn't offend anyone?

I find it offensive that anyone should say it's offensive.

Try stopping anyone from saying Allah Akbah [or however you spell it] and you would be bleedin' arrested probably.

Personally I think what you said was said with positive intentions meaning nothing but the best. I see this as fine in my eyes i don't believe in a god but I still understand what you said and what was meant. I would expect most Christians and reasonable people would be ok with it as would atheists I would expect even Muslims would be ok as they worship the same God as you. Also Buddhist should be fine as that is the best religion(my view) and they are understanding. So this leaves Jedi and Hindus, Jedi should be fine as for hindus they should be able to accept that people believe differently to them and a positive statement is a positive statement.

Pah shockwave.com are pathetic.

What about the other way? What if you said 'devil bless'? I bet it won't be censored.
