It looks like the capitalized version of *or*, enclosed in quote marks (double or single) is the problem.

I tried including that term in this post and got the same error.

A weird aspect is that my GD post let me use *Or* (in double quotes), but not *OR*(in double quotes). When experimenting with *OR*, or *Or*, (between double quotes, not asterisks) in this post, I get the 403 error for both versions.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
