Dear Jeremy,

I take it from you snips that you have issue with the self-censored swearing in this thread. I can’t speak for Eric but I know I thought hard about whether or not I should use that word and decided that it has a) appeared in lugnet in various guises before without complaint and b) was the most appropriate word to use under the circumstances.

Perhaps you feel that there is no time for even mild swearing (in Australia I doubt that bu* is considered a swearword at any legal level let alone in the public view but I realise USAians often have stricter views) and that is your right but I happen to disagree with it very strongly and were I to write that post again I would use the same word again. I will respect and have respected other people beliefs about what is right but I also hope for them to extend that same respect to mine.

Tim
