I will reiterate my opinion of several weeks ago. I think Scott's
guidelines for what is and is not acceptable for posting on MOPO -- as
they existed in the MoPo FAQ posted at www.filmfan.com at the beginning
of this year -- were excellent. The level of enforcement of those
guidelines from Scott (which was hardly ever -- except when things got
really out of hand) was also excellent and worked to this list's best
advantage and long-term health. Simply having the guidelines published
and in place mean anyone could simply mention the fact that they exist
when things threatened to get out of hand and that would usually be
enough to dampen down whatever current flap was flying.
Whether the post is on-topic or off-Topic, the bottom line is that there
*never* is any justification for anyone using excessively foul language
in a public forum like ours. It should always be "against the rules" and
slapped down when someone thinks their personal fit of pique means more
than the atmosphere/words the rest of us have to breathe/read.

Al, while I stand firm on my decision to not act as MoPo moderator or
censor, I'm asking that you please back off a bit on the adult language.
Can't you make your case without the extensive profanity?
