EA should clean up their own business practices before they go criticizing other people for being vulgar

Oddly enough I know several Muslims called Mohammed.

It's not odd at all - it's one of the most common names among Muslims. Right up there with Ibrahim.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Re: Censorship, EA, and BFME2
Sorry, keep forgetting that's one of our language's strange little habits, sometimes it means 'This is odd' usually it means 'This isn't odd at all' ;)

Edit : It's actually subtler than that, kind of like a Policeman asking you 'Didn't you see the lamp-post before your car hit it?'....
'Oddly enough....No' :/

Sigged.

EA can **** off and die.

Incidentally, have any of you ever played that billiards game over MSN? The in-game chat in that has a ludicrous level of censorship. Even words like "Nazi" are censored.
And the obvious ones like towelhead.

It's actually the most-chosen name in the world, IIRC.
