Sorry Tim,

	You grow up!  Vulgarity may have a place on the street corner,
the local neighborhood Gin Mill, and even among some of the so-called
sub-cultures, but, if you want to make anything of your life, you
will learn to speak the "spoken" English without resorting to such
crassness.  Those "candyass" administrators you speak of are from
a generation even older than mine, and, though you may disagree with
their views, they do hold the power to shut us all off.
Ergo, someone's abuse of their right of what they consider free
speech, may hamper my right to both free speech and free collection
of other's views.  I happen to disagree with your view, but at least
you had the chance to state it.
	I was referring not only to certain vulgarities I had seen
but was also trying to forestall yet another deluge of jokes in
extremely bad taste as I foresaw, with much distaste, what I perceive
to be the semi-annual ritual of new readers on the net getting
more and more brazen with submissions until, at last, someone
submits something with an ethnic/racial slur.  This invariably
leads to much "hotter" flames than mine, some of which are by
the aformentioned administrators, and to certain sites being
lost to the net.
