This always happens on a holiday weekend when the other nannies are gone and one of us are left by our lonesome. Normally I would just email Charles behind the scenes but since there are so many posts on the topic... The term "fag" is not acceptable for use on these lists. It is considered a derogative sexual connotation for a homosexual human at best. At worst it is a hateful vindictive and evil term for the same group of people. Your use of that term shows your level of sensitivity. It is on par with the "N" word for African Americans and the "C" word for a female. If anyone uses any of those terms they will be warned at the least. From the Netiquette page everyone should have read when they signed up. "Mom and the nannies are watching. The list managers (the List Owner or "mom" and List Managers or "nannies") have the right to remove posting privileges or ban anyone from the list for vulgarity, trolling, flaming, name calling, threats, or other behavior detrimental to this online community. They also have the right to switch you to moderated mode* for continued violations of the list rules and netiquette; this could escalate to blocking or banning if the infractions continue." Let's try to be polite. There is a large group of people here and out of the 1600 subscribers I am willing to bet that some are of that sexual persuasion and didn't appreciate that post. And no offense to the British, this is an American website so we ask that you use American English. Yes, I know you started the language. Terms such as Torch for flashlight and Boot for the trunk of your Lorrie are acceptable but not the term for a cigarette. Thanks. This thread is dead.
