Okay--I can understand a religion censoring curse words and certain body parts, but why all those names and websites? One was from the library at the U of Toronto, I noticed. That should be pretty innocuous, I would think.

Nippleheads, et? That was worth reading the whole bloody list above on tsuwm's link just to finally come down and read your term of endangeredment.

Dear me. What a strange list. Whatever can Deirdre and Scott have done to deserve total unqualified banishment.

Hubbard also wrote a lot of fiction, Westerns, Sci-Fi etc. I don't know what they are like, but his sci-fi work doesn't feature in the list of 50 that WON posted elsewhere. Has anyone read any of them?

And Bob Minton got on the list twice, unmodified. There were others that were listed under their names and also under their names with some addition, but good old Bob got listed twice with no qualifiers.

I noticed the word "bogus" is on the list...so if nothing is bogus, then nothing needs to be censored...so?

I suspect that this was a username or either scientology got labelled as bogus just a little too often, maybe both.
