Re: [HoE] Call for discussion, re: Vulgarity

My mistake, Eric was borderline offensive in his submission.  I regress my 
previous statement.  However, I still don't feel it's necessary to tell 
anyone that is politely asking for help, on any subject, that they are 
"giving gaming a bad name".  Writers don't give gaming a bad name, players 
can, however.
