" I have found a solution to the problem; not-posting.
I am not going to spend my time hopping from one foot to the other
guessing what other people might find offensive.
I have never used what *I* consider foul language on here, and I have
archives going back to vol 29.
With no list to reference, that is all I or anyone else has to go by.
The word I used is already a euphemism used around children as a
substitute for the intended vulgarity."

You can do what you want. All I can say is your solution is the exact
opposite of the goal.

If you want I can send you personally a list of every swear word I can
think of.

Aside from that it was "over" for me after I mentioned that it was not
allowed.

Another possibility than not posting is you if you accidentally stumbled on
another word that turned out to not be allowed, I would say so, you'd say
No problem, others would respect the correction/decision, and that would be
the end of it.

No big deal. My intent was not to hurt feelings or offend you. Clearly I
did. I apologize for the surprise.

Is there a better way I could have done it?
