>Also, to avoid any similar misunderstandings in the future, if you would be so kind as to provide a definitive list of all words you consider grounds for account termination, I'll certainly do my utmost to avoid their use here. I'm sure others would appreciate this as well.


Do you really not know what words are not acceptable? How about a simple guideline: all the words that you would be embarrassed to have your grandmother hear you say. That should be simple enough.

Seems to me that if we use a list, people will just find offensive words that aren't on the list.

Consider this: the list contains the word a**. Do I get kicked off for saying something like "I made an a** of my self"? Ok, so A** isn't on the list, but a**hole is. Fine, so I can call somebody an a**wipe until that word gets added.
And so on and so forth. The very existence of a 'list' implies that any language not on the list is fair game. I don't think I know anyone with enough spare time to compile an exhaustive list of things David wouldn't want his daughter to read.

We are adults, I think that most of us know what inappropriate profanity is. Just don't use it here. Why is it necessary to test the boundaries just for kicks? Remember this is a technical board; there are plenty of places to vent and do all the insulting and cussin' you want.
