I really don't think that LUGNET should have as low standards as TV does.
but that's besides the point. I think if Suz asked it to be toned down,
that's the end of the story - why argue with it? Did LUGNET become a
democrocy overnight while I wasn't looking?

when did swearing become the only way of expressing frustration? I've no
doubt that Matt could have posted a message showing just how frustrated he
was without using a single swear word. Everyone is allowed to state their
opinion, afaik, but some ways are not welcome on LUGNET. You want to cuss
and swear, go right ahead - but don't do it in Suz's sandbox.

or really any other cases. Not saying I don't use bad language, just that
I shouldn't.
