(...) Calum, You make some excellent points. I can even see that wishy-washy-easily-swayed Dave K says that you are right. BUT, Calum, you made my point in your very last sentence. At no point have I ever(STRESS EVER) advocated that I want to swear (...) (20 years ago, 25-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I didn't mean to imply that profanity is always wrong. I tend to agree with Larry's view on profanity use [1] and also agree (strongly) with Kelly's view of "free speech" on LUGNET [2].
