Q
Dick
is
a
nickname
that
some
Richards
prefer
sometimes
to
not
have
.
The
nickname
with
its
allusion
is
sometimes
problematic
as
a
practical
matter
,
in
a
world
filled
with
maniacal perverts
intent
on
ridding
the
world
of
what
they
regard
to
be
"pornography."
Dick
is
the
nickname
of
my
brother
Richard
.
Once
I
sent
him
and
his
signifcant
other
an
e
-mail
with
both
of
their
nicknames
in
the
greeting
and
the
word
"
hard
"
in
the
text
as
part
of
a
description
of
a
difficult
situation
her
extended
family
was
facing.
She
works
for
a
public
school
system
and
uses
her
work
e
-mail
address
.
The
system
has
a
filter
for
"pornography"
on
its
e
-mail server.
My
e
-mail
was
separated
for
review
by
the
system's censor
because
it
had
the
two
words
,
Dick
and
hard
,
even
though
the
words
were
separated
by
twenty
-one
other
words
and
used
in
completely
unrelated contexts
neither
of
which
had
anything
to
do
with
pornography.
She
told
me
later
that
many
e
-mails
between
her
and
my
brother
are
censored
for
no
reason
other
than
that
they
include
my
brother's
nickname
and
some
other
word
that
in
combination
set
off
the
censor's
alarm
.
