No, there isn't. Both have exactly the same effect- obsceneties in a Lugnet
post, violating the ToS.
Like I said, I understand that (and understand why) Jessie is unpopular, but
banning him from Lugnet for something that other people have done and not been
banned for is hypocritical to the point of being offensive.
If Jessie is to be banned, then I would expect a similar treatment to be
extended to:

Whew! There's more than I thought there would be, and I'm getting tired of
cutting and pasting. You can find plenty more by just doing a simple search on
"naughty words" in
Lugnet's search engine. In the interest of full disclosure, my name came up
once too:

But given your talk above about it being "ethically lax" of you to "let it
slide" when someone posts, I was shocked to find that you are one of Lugnet's
biggest pottymouths. I find your habitual commisions of the same ToS violation
to be FAR MORE offensive than Jessie's.
Perhaps you should move out of your glass house before you decide to begin
casting stones.
