 JB> I don't think those are his rules. Those have been the rules of

  Do you really think the message I posted was so offensive?  I said
a beer was fucking good.  Yes I admit it.  I deserve to be hung.
I promise I will have myself shot to not offend you anymore Joe.

  I do not accept a stupid rule like a curse should offend you.  If it
does I strongly suggest you read the bible and leave me alone to use my
freedom of speech.

 JB> Well if you're interested in no rules try USENET. There you can use
 JB> whatever language you like. However, most FTN networks have similar
 JB> rules about language, inciting others, flaming etc.

  Only fidonet.  I'm in 8 other networks and many many echo's in fidonet
and the only ones I've ever recieved a message like the one our moderator
sends me are in his echo's.  Most people know the difference between a curse
that is expressing joy from a cruel one.

  As an example if I said "Joe you are a fu**ing ***hole" that would be some
thing I would expect a message from the pope Roger about.

Thank you, for your wonderful and very thoughtful post Joe.

Shawn
