Lee, it isn’t this group’s rules to not use profanity alone…when you joined Google Groups in general, you automatically accepted their terms. I didn’t moderate you nor Archy…I did release both of your posts that were held in the moderated queue automatically by Google.
For this group, you will see that we have been asking you to “…Avoid swearing/cussing, unless it is absolutely pertinent to the discussion at hand. Sometimes it happens naturally in the flow of a sentence -- and I'm guilty of it -- but there are many far more creative ways to express yourself….” - http://groups.google.com/group/Minds-Eye/web/posting-guidelines For Google’s “Terms of Service”, something we all accepted when joining Google Groups, in general we have almost no rights. See: http://groups.google.com/intl/en/googlegroups/terms_of_service.html Language usage is mentioned there too.
