			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I decided that it was my civic duty to make comments on CBC.  So today I thought that I would sign up so that I could do so.  Since this site, HoserNews, is my new baby I picked it as my sign in name.  However CBC didn&#8217;t think that was such a good idea.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><a title="hosernews is vulgar by Jeff MacKinnon, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23380610@N06/2439296312/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2033/2439296312_a10db90206.jpg" alt="hosernews is vulgar" width="500" height="453" /></a></div>
<p>Hosernews somehow is against their <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/aboutcbc/discover/termsofuse.html#Submissions">submission Terms of Use</a>.   From the below  picture, taken as a screen shot,  they deactivated my account they since they believe so strongly that Hoser is a vulgar/derogatory term.</p>
<p><a title="cbc email by Jeff MacKinnon, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23380610@N06/2439288876/"><img style="float: left; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2334/2439288876_426289e6db_m.jpg" alt="cbc email" width="240" height="125" /></a>I think that it is a homage to two of the funniest Canadians ever, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_and_Doug_MacKenzie">Bob and Doug MacKenzie</a>.  I am all for not insulting people on purpose, but this is PC gone wild.  How is it that HoserNews gets filtered, and how did it raise a red flag in the first place?  Is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoser">Hoser</a> in some &#8220;bad word&#8221; list?  Or do all submissions get reviewed by a human?  If so maybe that person only knows the dictionary meaning of Hoser. Is it even in the dictionary?  Myself I don&#8217;t think being a Hoser is bad, it is just a philosophy and the love of beer.</p>
<p>So now here is the question.  What should I try as my name next?  I am thinking of trying something with Hoser again, or maybe Bluenoser&#8230;&#8230;maybe even drunk-bluenoser <img src='http://hosernews.ca/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I wonder if that one would be flagged</p>
