what was the total number of votes polled? I am sure it will be a ridiculously low number. > > Considering the majority wants offender to be gaged, admins/mods > will put profanity user on the list on moderation for one month > followed by expulsion from the list on repeat offense(s). > > Now enjoy your Freedom with Responsibility. Profanity???? Who decides?. Is bloody a profanity? is jerk a profanity? is dork a profanity? Bloody is commonly used in colloquial english, but if you use it with a non english speaking person he will be deeply offended ( has happened with me) Dork means a male whale's sex organ and commonly used in canada, Oz and NZ and is a profanity that most here wont even know. Is asshole a profanity ?. How about anal retentive for the profanity super-sensitized. While speaking in person one can sensitize oneself. While on the net it is difficult. Come on guys get a life. I have yet to see something more idiotic. -- Rgds JTD -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
