You're right - this isn't a newspaper, it isn't TV, it isn't the movies
or a comedy club.
We can choose to set our own code of acceptable conduct.
I think that we should choose respect and stay away from pushing the
line. If you feel that you need to replace alpha characters with symbols
then you are showing that you have decency and concerns about what you
are saying. Go all the way - use a decent word instead!
We all are responsible for not continuing down the slippery slope as
Whoopi and the fart boys are. We must hold our ground!
If you must vent try to find an alt.gates group somewhere.
