Correct. Theoretically speaking, another studio could make a Star Trek movie, if they had permission to do so by CBS. But given Paramount and CBS have the same parent company, this isn't likely to happen.
Indeed, nowhere in the forum rules is profanity forbidden, and if indeed Trek BBS had an issue with profanity, they could easily turn on the forum's profanity filter, thus turning all swear words written out into asterisks. The fact swear words shows up is permission enough to use them.
Actually, for about a minute, I quoted Gaby Johnson's line in Blazing Saddles, announcing Sheriff Bart's arrival, just to see if the racist term therein would post. It did. Of course, in the context of Blazing Saddles, it's no more racist than it is in the context of a conversation between two African-Americans, but only because Blazing Saddles was a tour-de-force of skewering the very idea of racism.
This sounds like something where many employees were "lost" in the process.
I was trying really hard to think of a joke about DC being called National Allied Publications at some point. It would have been something like 'sounds like the sex toy division of DC Comics, but it didn't really work... Any better suggestions?
Go
AND YOU CAN KILL YOURSELF AND GO TO HELL, YOU JERK. I can live with a little cursing like hell and the d word, but I don't deserve to put up with f-bombs from some atheistic idiot like you who works at getting to Hell.
You clearly don't live in the same part of Canada I do (though, to be fair, most of our swearing is québécois, which can get pretty confusing for non-Catholic, non-French speakers--part of the "la société distincte", naturellement ).
Not quite - racist slurs are against the rules. But yeah, expressing yourself using curse words is definitely allowed. (Different countries have different tolerances towards swearing - says the Brit (where they swear a lot) who moved to Canada (where they do not!) )
