@handyandy saidNow you are a friendly fellow this morning! Did you fall out of bed, or someone pee in your cereal?
You're talking through your anus again.

@handyandy saidYup, the word was "anus" -- slipped that one by the auto-censor.
The word was anus, Rusty's favorite orifice.

I warned you of the consequences of not posting your sources. Perhaps the Mods have a low opinion of plagiarism?

@very-rusty saidOh, I can do better than name him. I knew him. He taught mathematics at my alma mater where I was an undergrad in the 1970s. His 'performing' days were over by then, though. Too bad; he was devastatingly accurate and funny, both at once. He was also prescient; in many big cities, it is now forbidden to feed pigeons, as they are considered vermin.
LOL...Well you did name the source!!! ๐

@handyandy saidIt is unlikely that either human moderators or the auto-censor would have flagged that, except in China. The communist Chinese government has blocked Wikipedia, in all languages. For the greater good of the state, no doubt. This would probably have blocked Rusty's chrysanthemum paste, if it were purloined from Wiki.
Rusty's original paste included some Chinese characters presumably referring to anal sex. Maybe that's what killed the thread.

@handyandy saidIt is still standing!!! ๐

Let's test it:
"Chrysanthemum Gate" (jú huฤ mén ่่ฑ้จ), often abbreviated as Chrysanthemum (่่ฑ), is taboo slang meaning "anus" (with sexual connotations).[22]

@handyandy saidLOL @ Andy.....I should get a law suit any day now!!! ๐ ๐
@moonbus
Another thought:
Did Rusty violate Wikipedia copyright by pasting without attribution? That could trigger removal.

@very-rusty saidWell, Rusty, I guess we're left with the hypothesis that the furies do not look favourably upon you. Heck, I bet you could start a thread on, um, let me see now ...

There is an EU directive which effectively makes Internet platforms legally responsible to either pay a tax on material taken from another source, or block the material. RHP forums most likely qualify as a "platform" in the relevant sense.
