What I am finding interestingly curious about this thread is the lack of
sensitivity to others. Some are "censoring" the potentially offending
word(s) and others are brazenly typing it as though without a care or
concern in the world, even considering the originating post. Whatever
happened to courtesy?
I realize this is a public forum and not necessarily subject to any
particular norms of personal behavior, but is it really necessary to
continue to pound four letter words into our collective heads?
I no longer use those terms, and would rather not hear nor read them,
but I can put up with a certain amount of literary license when it comes
to profanity. However, my opinion is that many of those who are
participating in this thread are doing so with more of a "*snicker, I
typed f##k....*" attitude.
We get it. It's not nearly as funny nor nor as shocking as you wish it
were.
I realize I can filter messages containing the offending terms with my
mail message filters. That's not the point.
Oh, I like message filtering. My colleague from the University of Sussex
had to change the name of his university as the filter of an
international list serv based in th US filtered this obscenity!
No laughing, it's true.
So he had to change the name of his employer to be allowed to use the
list serv of his professional association (for which he paid dues).
And noone controlled if the word Sex is part of the OOo thesaurus !
