Tone down the language.

Uhh?  With all due respect, I'm not quite following.  Reading Matt's post,
the only words I see in there are 'crap,' 'suck,' and a numerical
representation for a third word, '@$$.'

I can't find the quote, but I do recall vividly you in a post once claiming
something along the lines that a-- was not even censored on TV (and
subsequently didn't make a big deal about it being posted here).  I did find
a couple canceled posts by you when I searched 'a--,' though.

Other than that, is there something wrong with Matt expressing his
frustration over this issue (note, *before* Brad clarified in his post
today)?  Is there something wrong with inflammatory language towards the
tribe and towards LEGO [1] - when it all boils down, Matt stating his
opinion?

Genuinely curious,

-Tim

[1] Not that I believe inflammatory language solves much in this case, or
other cases dealing with LEGO.

(...) Words are less important than the way in which they are used: "...LEGO sucks for bending over and letting the Maori ream them like this..." isn't particularly nice language. And not "giving a rat's @$$" about a culture isn't very nice either. (...) (23 years ago, 31-Oct-01, to lugnet.admin.general)
