I'm sorry, but we can't teach software how to interpret intentions, nor can we change the rules regarding what's blocked.
It's just that the name of the forum is Music Banter. It seems to me that you shouldn't have to resort to chicanery to type the name of a fairly famous and high profile jazz musician. I was on a baseball forum once where I couldn't type the name of the Atlanta Braves' manager without it being asterisked out. How stupid is that?

I know it's not the way for the new guy to make a good first impression, but it's asinine. Why should legitimate music discussion be held hostage to hangups over "Our Precious Moral Values TM"?
