Petition to add "maro" to the banned word list

Please post to this petition if you'd like to see the word "maro" added to the banned words list.

Something about seeing it in a post just irritates me every time. It's takes less than a second to type the Ca in front.......quit being lazy. It's a car not the inside of a bone!

Maro is a nick-name for a camaro, been that way for years and years even before the beloved 3rd gen

Well, considering that the middle of a bone is marrow I don't see the resemblance

It also takes less than a second to add the 'y' to ever, but I won't complain.

That one doesn't bother me...probably because I don't own a "bird" and could care less about what nickname people use for it.

Me neither. But, I also don't care if people call my Camaro a 'maro.

Re: Petition to add "maro" to the banned word list

I prefer it when people say to me, "Nice IROC man!"

When they say, "Nice 'maro man!" it seems like it's more of a mu llet mobile backyard ******* thing. (don't get me wrong i'm probably the biggest git 'r dun ******* on here lol, but my car isn't)

Re: Petition to add "maro" to the banned word list

Technically your car is NOT an "IROC" your car is an "IROC-Z"

The P.C. ideology irritates me so bad it is like shoving bamboo under my fingernails. Why not do something about a REAL problem and stop the school textbooks from removing phrases like "Founding Fathers" from our kids school books. Have you ever heard of an "African Canadian" They call themselves "Canadians". I think we are taking this too far personally and Political correctness is killing this country and I will not let it take over our board by banning "Maro"
