I wasn't the least offended. In fact, I thought it was a misspelling of
something (which I didn't try to decode) when I read the post.

I agree with you. There's no difference between admins cancelling and admins
threatening action if the post isn't cancelled. It just looks better on the
scoreboard.
As far as I remember, I've never reacted on the language in a post from you.
OTOH, posts from LP have gotten me to heat up several times, not because of
'foul language' but because of the offending tone.
I find it very hypocritical (of lugnet admins) to attack *words* and ignore
*meaning*.

But there isn't any censorship! Censorship attacks your *views*, the lugnet
ToU just forbid certain combinations of letters. No-one would have noticed
it if you had used Swedish for that one word that got the roller steaming.
Looking only at parts of the words you wrote, the post is obviously a break
of the Terms of Use. The same may be said about this quote from an English
song: "Cock-a-doodle-doo".
The admins could certainly take a softer, more user friendly view, adapted
to the importance of the break, and if you are a first-time offender.

I think that's a premature decision. Maybe you should take some days off
from lugnet to let your anger calm down a bit (I understand you completely),
and then come back and continue the important discussions about LDRAW etc.
Best wishes from a guy who has deleted hundreds of posts before pressing
'send', just to try to stay inside the ToU.
[This is the self-censored version, The 'real' version of this post was
twice the size, and contained at least five ToU breaks]
