My belief is that vulgar language is an invention of prurient
busybodies.

Or better yet:
 I'm offended by any references to eating meat, driving cars, closed
source software and ALL religions.


Make sure none of those things ever come up, especially not in personal
sigs and never in conversation.

and when you're done with that I'll find something else ridiculous to be
offended by and go around yelling that you should change the code of
conduct to encompass that, too.
