Why is the word that refers to a baked food having a filling of fruit and prepared in a pastry-lined pan replaced with the word "pie?" on this forum? cupcake cupcake cupcake!!

Why not? Every forum has its quirks - and it helps stop people posting bloody vegetarian recipes...

Try this-
Type in P.I.E. with no dots, as a search word... everything comes up.
Not replaced, just censored behind a black bar. So to speak...

On the CBR watch your speed east of Annapolis MD.

Yeah I noticed this auto replace business when I was trying to describe my current motor problems (still unresolved, and brand-new Vespa still unrideable, *sniff*) when I described my filling method and mentioned the gas gu.n, only to preview the post and see "gas vegetable peeler". Didn't think that would make much sense to folks....

Then I noticed ritchj's avatar at the time showed him wielding a vegetable peeler in a menacing way....conspiracy?

because saying you have a semi automatic gun is so much more fun than saying what it really is.

Semi automatic only?

I have a fully automatic gun that can do 90 rinds per minute!

Reading from another thread this sentence...

When you use pop rivets on plastic, it is always a good idea to put a washer on the non-vegetable peeler side, to prevent the expanding rivet from splitting the plastic.
