You know, Mike, this just may be true -- there is just no way that anyone else
could have known this; and given that, I had to assume you meant something at
least along the lines of the commonly understood colloquial meaning. Its not
like I tried to suggest that my use of the word "ass" meant anything than what
it does mean. I just happen not to think its that big a deal. I think I have
even heard it on T.V [actually, I am sure that I have heard that and worse in
sitcoms].
Its ridiculous, in my view, for Todd to hold us all to a standard higher than
that of primetime television programming. If TV isn't representative of mass
culture, then I don't know what is.

This is ridiculous on its face. I never come to Todd for anything unless he
is exerting his administrative muscle against me. I would rather he didn't,
but if he is going to I just happen to think that you should be included in
this little time-out from Dear Lego. If Todd had done nothing, I wouldn't be
addressing him here at all. After Frank asked for ass-istance on this
subject, I asked for fairness in the manner in which any censure would be
carried out.

Do you actually just NOT read anything I have written, or what? Please see:

I think I apologized and voiced my objection in an even-handed, good-natured
manner.

No, I think you violated the Terms of Use as much as anyone involved in this
strange little affair. I think I have shown that what you said is commonly
deemed a vulgarity. Whether Todd chooses to do anything about it is up to
him. So, have your little Thorazine induced daydream about how you are the
good guy and I am the bad guy -- just stop doing it on my time.
In ways good and bad, Todd runs the show here. Todd is the arbiter of what he
thinks is cool on Lugnet. I think there is intentionally a lot of wiggle room
in the Terms of Use as they are currently stated. Wiggle room currently being
used against myself and Tom.
But whatever...
