	Actually, I think my account will stay with me until I graduate...it's
renewable every quarter.  There are some perfectly good ways to flame w/o using
the overused vulgar vernacular.  That way, I can say whatever I feel like, and
if someone DOES forward it to the sysadmin, well, they can't do anything
because a:  most of the users here are college and beyond...the lack of
profanity would make it real hard to justify revoking my network privelege.
        b:  sometimes profanity takes away the muturity of a flame.  Often
words like F*** and Sh** make a posting immature.  Check out some of the
posting in alt.games.sf2 under "SF2 losers"!
	c:  profanity is "in" right now, so why join the masses (since the
masses are immature.  I've only seen a couple of postings here that use
profanity the correct way.) and be a statistic?  Why not stand out in alt.flame
as an individual.  Have to admit, as irritating as his postings were, everyone
kept posting to K E N because of his witty (and antagonistic) responses!  The
reason they were irritating is that they didn't get profane or immature.  He
just kept saying "...You have been informed...K E N is K E N".
	d:  why beat around the bush?  Someone flames me, and that's fine.  But
then they flame my father too???  That's pretty weak.  When someone flames
someone other than the poster, they have run out of good flames and resort to
Kindergarten postings.  Thus, how can I respect that person if they haven't the
originality to keep up a flame war with THE POSTER ONLY!!!

	In other words, I will flame how I want to.  When I want to swear, then
I will swear.  When I want to keep it clean, I'll keep it clean.  I an my own
person, not just another net statistic!
