Mike,

>Nope. Without us, "they" would be dead. The least an adminstration and users could do is work out an agreement together, then have the users abide contently by their own rules.

How do you propose that that be done without filling the UT with hundreds of messages debating various words back and forth? Organize a campaign to get people to email Michel or a designated sysop? Form a committee? Or just let them know your concerns as an individual?

BTW, are the sysops considered administration or user representatives?

I have no idea if there will ever be a list of banned words. My point is just that if there are to be rules, they should be clear and consistently enforced -- or eliminated.
