established that we can do this, but Brion thinks we need to wait.)
Brion did think that, and he was right. But yesterday I said that
there's no need to ask me first. Let me know when something like this
is done, so I don't miss it, and let me know *before* if there's some
question about it being borderline.
Don't exaggerate this problem. I do not want it to
become a breeding
ground for general hysteria about "foul" language.
Yes. I curse like a sailor myself in appropriate contexts. Foul
language doesn't bother me. But wikipedia is not an appropriate
context.
There's a danger of a person or group of people deciding to get their
jollies by fighting us about this. Yes, that would be stupid. But
some people have too much time on their hands.
