Just a >little bit of tact, you know... I deleted the post and forwarded it to the CCC moderation email alias, along with the explanation that I deleted the message because I didn't think that CCC should become the "dirty joke forum". Fernando wrote me some mail in which he essentially called me a prude, criticized my parents, and accused me of being narrow-minded and fanatical. I forwarded this back to the CCC moderation alias and replied. I reiterated that I thought that it was right that I deleted the post, and described a few obvious awful problems that we could have if I had allowed that post to stay. I suggested that if he wanted to repost it, I would not delete it, but I reserved the right to make a response. He replied defending the content of his post, and that was it until the "I resign" post in here. What did you think happened instead? bruce
