I think the group could be called the Bright Pink Flamingo, point being when we join, we agree to abide by the group rules. Anyone who doesn’t feel they can manage that, maybe don’t join, if speaking politely is going to be difficult. -James Sent from my iPad > On 23 Jul 2020, at 11:22

I fully support the rules as stated by John there's nothing that people not wanting to hear a word stops me from expressing. There's no rights involved in something that's volunteer if you don't like it head out. On Thu, Jul 23, 2020, 6:19 PM John R. Hogerhuis wrote: > > > On Thu, Jul 23, 2020 a

As one of the people you're talking about who finds forums full of foul language wearisome and avoids them, I have to say I'm puzzled by this rule.  I was embarrassed to subscribe to this list because the name Oh My God how did I forget THAT? Tell us all again about vulgar words John. --

I fully understand and respect you have the role of moderating this list and I think that’s an important role. This doesn’t mean I have to agree or disagree with any particular instance of behaviour or its moderation. As I’ve mentioned, I hope I have the right to agree or disagree without using

Brian, Doug, Erik... what the heck is happening here? Did it seem like I was taking a vote? Collecting opinions? Or that I was likely to tolerate overtly repeating the behavior that I just made clear was not allowed? Maybe we haven't gone down this road in a while. We can talk about it, of course,

Ummm, Crap is part of the standard Australian vocabulary, it has no ill intent what so ever, and is used to replace a significant number of worse expletives. There should be no issue at all. We have to remember that this list is International, and give each other leniency. As an Australian, it

It is ridiculous to call that swearing, and intrudes on the usefulness of the venue for simply communicating. Saying crap was already the way to avoid saying something else. Come on. -- bkw On 7/23/20 3:03 AM, John R. Hogerhuis wrote: On Wed, Jul 22, 2020, 10:07 PM Hiraghm
