My concern in this paragraph is some inconsistency I'm perceiving. Where I
recall her not being concerned about this [particular word] before, but now
it appears she is. Is the standard the same for all? I have no problem
adhering to a standard that limits profane language, just keep the standard
consistent.
If 'a--' is not acceptable for LUGNET, I will not use it, nor will I argue
the point. But, shouldn't the standard be set and be consistent across the
board?
Thank God LUGNET is *not* a democracy, if it was, we wouldn't have the email
authentication because most people were not familiar with the reason it was
put in place. If it were a democracy, we would probably have a few
nuisances floating around still too.

That's OK with me. Just keep the standard consistent so there is fairness
and no confusion over what is acceptable and what is not.
