Why is "idi*t" apparently okay to use, but not the F-word? I think the former is worse than the later and I think calling Win, Winnie, is worse than saying the F-word.

Let's be clear here, I called him "My good friend Winnie". Hardly an insulting tone, but I digress...

You think calling him Winnie is worse than using the F word? I am continually amazed by your reasoning(?).

It also appears SI arbitrarily jumps in. I'm not saying SI is arbitrarily, but I am saying that SI may give the incorrect impression of being arbitrary, only because the rules are not clear.

I believe 2 things are at work here. #1 is that SI has a screened for obscene words, and #2 someone (not I) complained to the webmaster.

People are entitled to their expression of opinion, so should not be banned.

Mark this day! We finally agree on something!
