Bad and ridiculous news! How did you learn of the suspension? I suggest that those who want to join me in attempting to get him out of "bad-word prison" should reply to this post. Then we should write a request that he be freed "on probation" if necessary. We need not use the dreaded F-word. It has SUCH A CORRUPTING influence! Lies, deceit, death and destruction as dealt out by the Administration of the US of A--that's OK, but no F-word. Practically, we are on a moderated thread, with NO moderator. Even for the rather loosely organized SI, that's not a good idea. So we need our Pal back! Please reply therefore if you want your name on the simple and orderly petition. Namaste! Jim

The nonsensical nature of this is illustrated by an old New Yorker cartoon. There are a bunch of International university student type kids sitting in a circle, each holding some musical instrument or another. In the foreground, a young Japanese lad is standing and saying: "And now I sing you song in Japanese, but must warn you, is VERY, VERY FILTHY! In another direction, Sigmund Freud investigated "dirty words" and found that if in your earliest years you were not acquainted with the "dirtiness" of a given word by somebody, then it never had any quality of "dirtiness" to it. In other words, this is all about "infantile" stuff and its association with pssing and shtting (we can defecate and urinate as much as we want, I guess!) So if someone doesn't SHAME you at the right age about your own natural bodily functions, then the word itself has no power. Namaste! (you didn't learn this word early enough so you can't feel its beauty) Jim
