Only for expressing the opinion, I think.

But then why do you support the mandate against profanity?
I've assumed the goal of these rules is to make LUGNET a place where adults can
do their thing and still be a place that parents are comfortable letting their
kids roam. Right? If the F word will drive them off then surely open racism
will as well. Frankly -- as a parent of two, I'm much more concerned with my
kids being exposed to accepted biggotry than to profanity.
