I know that the admins set the rules and I know LUGNET is "non-free" in terms of
the types expression allowed but I think the above opinion is very arrogant
(that's not to say that you, Tim, are arrogant since I know you are not). The
above implies that profanity is always wrong, no matter what the circumstances.
I think this is a very dim view to take since it's not clear on what exactly
constitutes profanity and that the context of the message is what sets the
meaning and not the words themselves.
