     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.
