PSG> How about apologising for subjecting the test of us to them? Nope. Sorry (for not apologizing for ``subjecting'' you to them). BTW, I find it somewhat laughable for you to righteously claim that you didn't want to see what I wrote. Why did you read it so thoroughly if you really didn't want to see it? That's like somebody complaining to a porn site and saying ``your pictures are disgusting and should be banned---especially the one where he [omitted].'' PSG> I'm polite to everyone. Publically criticising how I speak isn't being very polite. Writing Joseph privately and showing your support for him is a very different thing. I hope you did that. PSG> You might make it into a special procmail entry though if I have PSG> to read stuff like that again from you. If you choose do that, may I simply recommend: :0:B * Committed to freedom and diversity * fuck /dev/null All the purely ``offensive'' messages I write (like the one to Joseph) have my signature on them, and are guaranteed to contain the word `fuck', so it's a convenient thing to filter by. Such a filter also clearly states the heart of the issue: your taking offense is *your* problem, not mine. If you are a parent, and are being offended on behalf of your children, I'd chastise you for not teaching them how to cope in today's four-letter-word society. If you are a Christian, then I'd go further, thump the Bible at you, and remind you that sons of God are slow to take offense. A single e-mail does not constitute ``slow.'' If you're a FIG, then I'd laugh with delight, because you were doing this whole thing for the edification of the other people on the list, and really don't have anything against me. Brilliant move, giving me the chance to help educate the Debian folks about censorship like that! I'll play the queer to your straight man any time! (Except in bed... I'm a happily married heterosexual.) :) Thanks for writing. I enjoy talking about things like this. Fuck censorship.
