[WikiEN-l] Personal remarks, etc. (was: anti-semites...)

Bjorn,

Your post to RK raises some interesting point, but then it became 
heated and personal. Please try to tone down the language, and 
make sure to leave out the personal remarks.

A couple of contributors have written me about spelling out the 
word F***. I understand if you /have/ to use that kind of 
language, but if you think you can get your point across without 
it please try to use different language. For example, instead of 
"give a @#$%", you might try:

* some things that I should pay attention to / concern myself with

Personal remarks like the following don't move the dialogue 
forward:

* you are trying to find Nazis
* You ... proved someone was a Nazi
* none of my !@#$% business

Let's try to keep our posts on topic. The topic is how we can make 
Wikipedia the greatest Free Encyclopedia the world has ever seen.

Thank you.
