Yes. Just because it's in the dictionary (depending on what dictionary
you're using) doesn't mean it's appropriate. Example (rot13):

uggc://jjj.qvpgvbanel.pbz/frnepu?d=shpx

Also, nobody has a "right" to post anything to a mailing list. The ability
to use someone else's bandwidth (Ambrosia, in this case) without
compensating them is not a right, it's a privilege. Try to respect it.

I don't need to lighten up. I'm saying that this is a family listserv, and
there's no reason to use any sort of "language" whatsoever. Mature people
can make a point without resorting to profanity.

I'm 16. You think I don't hear and see all sorts of fun things at school? ;)

I have absolutely no problem with profanity. What I have a problem with is
insolent and immature people who don't respect community rules and opinion
regarding its use.

You could have too. I hate to point it out, but I think you're outnumbered.

I'll refrain from further dragging out this thread. I've made my point.

Cheers,
