If we are not to be self-policing, then we must avoid all controversy.
If we ARE to be self-policing, then allow for some semblance of reason in your efforts.
This perhaps should include cutting a little bit of slack to the "offender." It is obvious this offense was unintentional-yet its getting alot of "politically correct" rhetoric/pap in response. GEEZ do you politically correct people ever bother to take on some of the truly combative and intentionally offensive stuff posted here?? The answer is generally no! Maybe this just proves a certain theory of mine, that "P.C." really stands for "politically chicken-shit" !
If language is offensive, is it the context, or over-analysis that makes it so?
And finally, if you have a problem with Chingidy's hopelessly-oblivious-to-offense post,
and you do not want to cut him some slack, then simply complain to hostmaster(AT)bellsouth.net, copy the post to them and reference
adsl-32-248-59.jan.bellsouth.net and 67.32.248.59, since your BBS host hasn't done anything about it maybe you should? Otherwise take a chill-pill, being "very sensitive" doesn't mean EVERYthing that troubles you is worth a battle over!
