Ok. Last message from me on this subject. I’m pretty sure you nor anybody else on this list has been able tp spot me using any foul language (assuming ‘+1’ doesn’t count as foul). I was reacting to Brian’s message, who’s sentiment I agree with. This doesn’t mean you were asking for votes, or that I implied you did. It means I agreed with his sentiment, nothing more, nothing less. There’s way to much PC nonsense going on in th world right now in my humble opinion. I fully agree with a no *swearing* policy and you’ll never catch me using any swear words on this list. I do fully try to be respectful to anybody here and I think everybody should. But lets be adults about it as well and try not to get to hung up on rather innocent words like the one used, not even spelled out actually (which I will not repeat as it seems to be offensive to some of us). I do hope I have the right to express agreement with things that are said on this list. If that disqualifies me to be part of this list then I’d like to hear this and I’ll remove myself (regretfully as I rather enjoy the list experience so far).
