Hi dark,
If there was a total blanket ban on swaring on this list then I really
wouldn't care at all.
But nobody in their right mind can sit there and say that crap is worse
than
hell. That's just stupid. Sorry but it is. I've seen people including the
moderators use that word within the last couple of weeks all you have to
do
is to go back through the archives to see it for yourself. So yes I'm
sorry
I do think that this is setting a major double standard which I really
cannot agree with and there's no basis in logic for any real disagreement
with my comment.

Hi.
I must confess while I am totally behind most profanity filters for the
purposes of keeping things accessible to as many people as possible, a
line
has to be drawn somewhere.
In my old boarding school they thought the word "belly" was swearing, ----
they even thought "heck!" was. I stil however see no need to pander to
this
sort of thing when the majority of people on the street wouold find it
acceptable.
I must say that on the audiogames.net forum, while language filters have
been set for many words (including the F word), there was a moderator
discussion about the word in question a couple of years ago, and it was
decided to remove it from the swearing filter, so it now writes as it
should.
there have been no complaints whatsoever, and sinse it's a word I myself
use (I've possibly used it on this list), people have been much more
comfortable allowing it. ---- pluss of course, it is also a word which may
come up in conversationn on other topics rather than as an expletive, ----
in fact the discussion about removing it from the swearing filters was
prompted by discussion of the game desert strike, and it's use of
h/llfire
missiles as a weapon.
thus, while I would certainly agree on keeping profanity down, I do think
there is a reasonable line. Obviously, sinse yo moderate this list and
not
me, such a decision is yours to make and I'll be glad to abide by it, ----
however, i have to confess I don't agree that the H word should in deed be
banned simply because some people find it offensive, ---- would you
considder banning the word "belly?" as well?
Beware the grue!
Dark.
