    In fact, the only way it could be profanity is if you happen to follow a particular set of personal beliefs, and I really can't be found responsible for that.

    And how am I even close to "smearing" Christians, non-Americans, or non-native English speakers? Ignorance is a smear now?
    I can see where Ludens is coming from. Keep in mind this is an international forum. Some people may take offence. You have to take into account sensitivities of other people when posting at the Org.

    You may have noticed that Ludens already posted in this thread, admitted that he himself is not sure and already asked Tosa's opinion on the matter.

    Moderators and admins are volunteers, we are not available 24/7, so please, be patient.

    Tosa probably hasn't been online since Ludens request.

    Calling your fellow Org members "nuts" is a personal attack and not appropriate, btw.
