Insulta frazo!

This phrase is insulting.

The official policy is: not delete sentences (untless they are not grammatically correct), just tag them.

Because insulting sentences also represent an important part of the language. Sometimes even proverbs can be insulting (e.g. in Russian we have a proverb ‘the guest who have not been called is wrose than a Tatar’, — it can be insulting to Tatars). It’s very hard to draw a line between what is insulting and what is not, so that’s why the official policy is to delete nothing.

In the future, Tatoeba will have a 'safe search' option that will allow to hide such sentences. Unfortunately, it’s not developed yet. :(

Thanks for your explanation!

It is indeed insulting.

@GrizaLeono, you can't change someone's sentence unless it's grammatically incorrect. This sentence had six translations and now they're lost! I'd suggest changing it back to the original.

@Alexmarcelo.
The change was intended to prove that anything was wrong in the security... until I saw, that the reason is, that I have been promoted...
Kompreneble mi tuj remetis la originalan frazon.

No problem, dear Leono. Please read my opinion on the wall:
