I agree. But as I said IMO it should have been removed.

I like to save my complaints for something stronger than a four letter word.
I have only myself just the form once that I can recall in my time here but
wouldn't want to become the CCC detective unless I was elected.
I was suggesting to Stuart that he had the option to send an email to the
moderators.

It don't make it a cess pit but there are children I assume that read posts at
CCC and I myself see no need to swear. As you yourself wrote while it may be
common to speak that way where Thorsten is, I'll bet they don't talk that way
around children.

Personally I like Thorsten and I am glad to see he is back here posting again,
as a lot of his subjects bring diverse debate. I would just prefer not to see
swear words posted.
