I agree. But as I said IMO it should have been removed. >There is a greater chance that nothing will be done about something if nobody >complains. You aren't saying in your post that you complained. Perhaps if you >had complained, something would have happened. 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. >I think that people should be responsible for their own language unless CCC >becomes a cess pit. I don't think that the use of that one word, especially >given who said it, takes us into cess pit territory. 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. > Thorsten is an >intellectual Tasmanian Devil, and if you deal with him you should consider >yourself lucky if you don't get hit by little bits of metaphorical chewed up >rodent. 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.
