My opinion anyhow >WAyne John was careful in the header to warn of profanity, leaving users the choice to read the post. I see no reason that a Woman would be any more offended than a Man. The post is not designed nor aimed at a specific person, so I see no reason why anyone should be bothered. Either the word is acceptable or not. Christophe's post which like this one is after a moderator message; and is also in reply to this message; http://www.icdchess.com/forums/1/message.shtml?179387, I feel much less comfortable about, even with the smile's, as IMO that's a post that never needed to be made.
