Nobody objected when Rubrick swore at me. Not one damn soul.
You cannot use gutter language yourself, and countenance it from those you like, and then get all prim and prissy when others use it.
Edit: Whit, having followed your advice of "YCLIU", I do not believe my first parargraph above was mistaken. Perhaps YCLIU -- or perhaps we can leave this as a matter on which you and I can disagree.

If you remember, Bobyoungbalt publicly reprimanded Rubrick for his use of that language on the Spammer thread itself, YOU CAN LOOK IT UP. Boby has never used or condoned the use of such language on this forum. Bob didn't deserve this.

And John also recanted, apologized, and edited his language...so holding this up as a candle to the board to hypocritically allow mg to assault folks with profanity like this doesn't cut the mustard...because I honestly know of no other instances when anyone, even at the most heated moments, resorted to profanity to antagonize or berate someone here....even though we are surely all capable of it. We ain't saints...but we do take pains to use discretion here at AWAD because we care about the quality of the site (or former quality of it).
And, no, Keiva I don't want a compendium of all the instances when profane words were used in humor or indirectly... because aside from that one moment on the Spammer thread, and now mg, they haven't been used in this malicious manner.
And, BTW, musick also reprimanded Rubrick on the Spammer thread, YCLIU.

Thank goodness though, we are not unidimensional. We have personalities and feelings and the human need to reach out to others and share.
I was thinking about the milk of human kindness. . .did I mix a metaphor? I was thinking about lovingkindness. I was thinking about overlooking an error or a foible. I was thinking about the ability to let another shine.

You are spot on with that remark Lizzy [if I may, Ms? =)]
The personal context of these posts is so *very easy to misinterpret, leading to undue harshness or offence in the giving and the taking. Well done both for your response.
Let's all take note, take a cool breath and for god's sake draw a line under *ALL* the recriminations. If there is anyone here you simply *can't get along with, ignore them - anything else is just scratching the sore.

But mav, if we refuse to discuss our behavior and learn from it, we can expect the same behavior to occur again -- and again -- and again. Were we to cut off discussion only after modest goddess has left, all we accomplish is to let those who might have erred off the hook for their misbehavior. Edit: and by doing so -- by tacitly winking at it -- we encourage it.
I appreciate that any discussion may engender heat. But to cut of discussion for that reason is to say that for fear of screaming, we will allow the screamers free reign. [pun intended]
