For a Couple of Reasons, I Will Be Limiting My Postings in The Religion Group

No big deal, but I wanted people to know why I'm not around so much in certain respects. I won't go into any further detail about those reasons, though.

I just won't be using them. I'll be using other words, instead. I have the best words. Tremendous words. Brazilians of words.

Gloat not; wont not.

Have a good day. And remember, it is Mueller time every day at this point.

I will just be self-moderating. But I'll be here all the same, just not quite as much the same.

to ensure that any competent reader understands you clearly.

Nevertheless, if certain words are forbidden here, this should be publicly known. We should all have access to a list of those words. Of course, it is not your responsibility to provide said list.

In any case, I'll strive to avoid such things going forward and seek other ways to express myself that cannot be misunderstood.
