I try Dr Bob, I really do, but this is just silly. This person was blocked for 2 weeks for using the word "jackass"???? That's not a curse word! That's the name of an animal, a donkey! Picture something like Eeyore. Would you block me for calling myself a wolverine?? Or calling KK poodle?
Puuulllleeeze reconsider.

Please check your Merriam Webster. When the jack prefaces the *ss it is not considered vulgar or offensive.

Ok, I can't resist. I knew I had seen this exchange somewhere so went surfing to get it:
