i learned that "hate" is a four-letter word...not "fuck."
i'm surprised that i haven't been banned yet. i tend to have a bit of a sailor-mouth, but it's only when i mean it deeply, i don't use those words superfulously.
i believe that the notion of "bad" words is rather puritanical and antiquated.
btw--i used the word "fuck" in an essay i wrote for an upper-division English lit class, and received an A. i was the top pupil. of course, i used the word appropriately.
i have not been reading geno's messages (well, not too many of them) but i feel that banning him would be biased.
a small number of us use choice words on occasion and *i* personally don't understand what is wrong with that.
respectfully,
sar
