Hi Suz,
THanks for taking the time to respond to this. I hadn’t noticed that Jeremy had
switched it across to .admin.general. If I had I would have moved it elsewhere.

... 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
|
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’ll remember that for the future. I did make sure not to spell the word out.
| |
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.
|
Good luck with that ;)

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.
|
It wasn’t intended in a “my country is better than yours” sort of a way or in
any other negative manner. More pointing out that I am constantly working to
guess what might be offensive to people from a different culture. I think
Australians don’t tend to see some words as profanity that other English
speaking countries do (see
this recent example).
| |
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)
|
It was more the fact that he stated that he doesn’t come here very often and
then proceeded to give his view. I’m a fairly regular and active poster who has
been around since the very near the start too and I kind of get my back up a bit
when someone pops back in just to tell me off. That said, I shouldn’t have been
quite so uptight in my response.
| |
More later,
-Suz
everyone please relax meantime.
thread brought over to .admin.general

PS. Jeremy, I’m sorry if I came across a bit harsh in the heat of the moment.
