Okay, I'm just curious. (and confused)

I saw on the Police blotter the following entry:

-----------------------------------------------------------
Date: Wednesday, March 21, 2007
Violation: Second Life: Respect, Pets
Region: —
Description: for saying "phone weasel"
Action taken: Warning issued.
----------------------------------------------------------

First, WHAT is a phone weasel?

Second, is there a rule against saying "phone weasel"?
Can you get suspendes for saying it? (Really, I'm not trying to get suspended!)

Third, are there other rules I don't know about? Sure never heard of this one!
Just trying to stay out of trouble, and also wondering if "phone weasel" is
something the ACLU thinks I have a right to say!

The confoozed...

No, you can't get suspended for saying Phone Weasel. But you can for mentioning The ACLU.

Its funny how huge and pop culture the ACLU's reputation has grown with the advent of the internet.

It can secure any freedom, right any wrong

Leap tall buildings in a single bound.

Bring home the vegtable based imitation bacon and fry it up in the pan.

I almost wonder if its true purpose has become marginalized becuase its the poster child for a decade of "dont infringe on my free speech" arguments in all the flame wars, perceived unjust internet censorship, etc.

Instead of an organization that has struggled to fight the good fight, people act like its "Call 7 news for action"
