I havent posted that much in the last 10 years on LUGNET, but when I do its
for a good cause.
This should be a public community which fosters positive LEGO-related
experiences, just as it was intentded by Todd Lehman, and Suzanne Rich-Green.
Please restrain flame wars from the LUGNET community. Thank you.

How about you show some respect for other people rather than hiding behind
you bulls**t. If you want people to treat you with respect then show some
respect for them by obeying the rules of the site.

Tell you what, until someone helps to maintain an air of civility around
here, Ill continue to post sales informational ONLY cross posts to this
group, until I sell every fn peice of my Lego. Cause I really want out.

Dear Jeremy,
I take it from you snips that you have issue with the self-censored swearing in
this thread. I cant speak for Eric but I know I thought hard about whether or
not I should use that word and decided that it has a) appeared in lugnet in
various guises before without complaint and b) was the most appropriate word
to use under the circumstances.
Perhaps you feel that there is no time for even mild swearing (in Australia I
doubt that bu* is considered a swearword at any legal level let alone in the
public view but I realise USAians often have stricter views) and that is your
right but I happen to disagree with it very strongly and were I to write that
post again I would use the same word again. I will respect and have respected
other people beliefs about what is right but I also hope for them to extend that
same respect to mine.
Tim
PS. Follow-up set to .off-topic.debate

Is this in fact what Jeremy was refering to?

I know LUGNET doesn't have a list of "okay swearwords", but I'd think if stated
as "BS" it'd go by unnoticed.
I haven't read every post in this thread yet, just the ones which have come
through .admin because I get alerted to those in my main e-mail box. (As an
aside, it's always odd for me to hear arguments that way because they've usually
already become quite heated..) I plan to check out this whole "fight"(?) later
today.
Frankly, comments like this bother me more:
> but I realise USAians often have stricter views)
:-\ strictly my own opinion, of course. ...it just seemed
inappropriate/unnecessary.
Jeremy's comment above seems like friendly common sense. It's too bad that the
context of his post could cause it to be taken personally. (just an observation)
More later,
-Suz
everyone please relax meantime.
