@CrimsonBull9584 it gets flagged as something that could potentially harm someone who reads it and then harms EA via lawsuit... There's a .0000001% chance that something like that would happen, but not paying legal retainers is literally money in the bank

  I ran Obihiro through the urban directory and did a deep Google dive and I can't find anything that could be considered objectionable. So I don't get what's wrong with it.
