    Mountebank

    I've been having a think about the thread in which "munter" in the title got changed to "punter" by someone in authority.

    Whilst munter may not be the most wonderful expression, after a huge amount of consideration, I think it's a flaming liberty to go mucking around with a thread title like that.

    I've been posting on here since 2007, never had a ban or a warning, never had a sockie (really I haven't) - and this is the first time anything like this has come up - so maybe I have a ban coming (from this thread). If so, ban away, I don't want to post on a forum that thinks they can and should censor a word like munter, however regrettable and sad an expression that may be.

              No, why should I ban such a pathetic reposte?

                And if you're that unhappy about I would suggest that you report said post to Admin...

                  For the benefit of the rest of us?

                  FA getting banned is more predictable than a lady's cycle
