Sounds to me like THAT list rules that unruly people who do not follow the unwritten rules of unruliness gets overruled and rolled out of the rolls. Hmmmmm... ouch, stop stepping on my geese. << Rules are good but foul language (at least in my case as a newcomer) is sometimes poetic license. I rarely cuss and almost never use "f" words and do not like it. .... >> You may have my poetic license. I simply use the words "Mike Miller" when I feel like writing something REALLY fowl. No clucks about it. The essence of free speech, (and you can develop trust with me on this) is that you do not interfere with the rights of others. I'm not saying that there is free speech on this list but some of us expect to be able to enjoy this community w/o being assaulted by words like chicken, turkey, cornish game hen, or even quail stepping. Oh yeah for my Vanagon content pmail me for pics of the van I got Terry K's van step from. Front and rear are completely covered in fowl material. Also came with fake foul fouling in the inside. It's enough too make you wonder if this guy was tireD and feathered by his community for using excessive fowl language. BenT out of shape
