The moderator hoped this would be an isolated incident and not come up
again, and so said nothing. (When will I ever learn?)
This issue has come up before. While I'm reluctant to automatically
censor or filter profanity, current sentiment echos prior sentiment:
profanity is not welcome on this list. I can curse like a sailor and do
at times, _but not on this list_. (And if it matters, yes, there are
underage subscribers here.)
It's not a great sacrifice to avoid profanity, particularly when asked
to do so. It's simply good manners. If it pleases you to consider other
list subscribers as simple-minded and puerile, then by all means do so.
Obviously, I need to add this to the list of "don'ts" for this list, but
in the meantime, I would ask that we confine profanity to the politics
list (where's it's encouraged! ;-). Likewise, I think we can dispense
with this thread.
