There are certain reserved words that trigger the server's Apache module "mod_security." This very necessary layer of security protects the server from intrusions, but can sometimes behave somewhat "trigger happy."

Your post happened to contain some one-in-a-million reserved-word combination that resulted in a false positive.

I'm not about to announce what to the whole wide world what those words are exactly, but I couldn't really tell you even if I wanted to. If I were to try to post them, I'd get exactly the same result as you.

This is at the server level and has nothing to do with my programming. All I can do is check whether there are adjustable settings on the server and whether it is advisable to make these adjustments. If not, we'll have no choice but to live with this small limitation. All servers, regardless of operating system, come with certain little loopholes and back doors that must remain closed for security.
