Sister Jabou

I never said it was ok to have profinaty on the L  .I even went further to say  that I would never use it nor do I want anyone to use it on me or anyone else. That is not even an issue.

There are many words that have double meanings and again one man's truth may be another man's lie.(as we have seen the the mid east debates)

To make matters short there is no place for insults in an intellegent debate & exchange but that is not the case here  we are talking about censurships and delistings .They are two different issues.

You know that especially that I  would be the last one to say it was ok .and moreover we all have control on our delete buttons . I  delete almost 80 % of all messages in my in box that I do not want to read . It is as simple as that. 

I wish we never had to go through all this in the first place.

Best regards

Habib
