Here's a summary of potentially offensive words used in the posts on

Sorry, your figures don't agree with my mailboxes. For my side, at
least one word isn't spelt how I usually spell it. In another case,
you counted a word ("fools") which was used in an expression and not
referring to anyone. It's easy to make things one-sided with such
counting. Meanwhile, I get called things like "cock" (which has now
appeared on-list as well as off-list, although in a less offensive
context).

Ladies and Gentlemen, let's all be civilised :)
Amen. Also, let's be a bit freaking tolerant instead of insisting on
some americanised notion of "polite" or whatever you want to call it.
