He and Eric from GFY both said that if they don't censor words like that people call each other those names and I said, it also means that no one can carry on a legitimate conversation about child porn and pedophiles because those words (at least on GFY), are replaced with hahahahahahahahaha.
He argued his point to the point that J.D. Obenberger (who was in the audience) stood up and said that no word in the English language is considered legally obscene and arguing my point that no words should be censored. Then Mr. Applebees started arguing points of law with Obenberger who finally threw up his hands, laughed and walked out, while moderator Mark Womack is apologizing to him all the way to the door.
Then I asked a question about 2257 and a community site's responsibility in that regard specifically of Eric Bernstein at which point Appleboy started to answer so I said, "I asked the attorney" so he shut up.
Those are just a couple examples. He had some of us laughing the whole seminar.
