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:

:-\ 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.
