I don't consider censorship a trivial issue, so I don't consider it whining. And I didn't start the whole issue, either. > Fact is, our agreed-upon etiquette guidelines quite clearly state that > "Profanity is not welcome". Agreed-upon? I didn't agree. > Your continued membership in this community implies agreement to the > etiquette guidelines. This is ridiculous. Of course it doesn't. I'm an American citizen, but that doesn't mean I agree with state sponsored executions. > You've stated that you don't agree with the "no profanity" clause, but > it seems that the overall community sentiment that's been expressed > contradicts your preference. Say what? At least as many people have used the word "fuck" as have objected. > Here's an idea: if someone's complaints about profanity on this list > bother you, simply don't read their posts. Cute, but not logical. The complaints about profanity don't bother me, complain away if you like and I will read or not read as I see fit. It is people trying to force other people's vocabulary that bothers me. Your advice applies to the people that are telling others what words they can use, not to those of us who simply want to be free from censorship. -- "Erik Reuter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.erikreuter.com/
