Personally, I didn't notice the language until you reposted the <censored> message; I had to go in my trash can to see what he said. I guess where I grew up and lived my life (US Navy) has made me somewhat immune to this type of 'language', so I didn't see any problem with it. The info he had in his post was 'right on' and, IMHO, wasn't diminished by his choice of adjectives.

There are any number of software programs out there that can search your incoming email for 'key' words and automatically delete those messages from your in box so you are not exposed to them. Or you could choose to automatically delete any message from him quite easily if his language continues to offend. Asking him to change his language (publicly) seems a bit puritan.

Just be thankful he didn't expose one of his br**sts.
