(...) No, but I would expect you'd do something like this, so...carry on! :) (...) For THAT matter, I could also say Emimem or NWA made some excellent points using a LOT of profanity. What I'm trying to get across is, for the subject matter, that (...) (20 years ago, 25-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

It's like saying, should I ever NEED to blow up a small sovereign nation, I want to always have access to a nuclear weapon (since everyone likes to call it the "F-Bomb" (?!#!@#)).

(...) 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]. My comment wasn't meant to address what was profanity and (...) (20 years ago, 25-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) 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).
