Good Use for Bad Language

new 2/11/02


This past weekend I got a letter from someone I did not recognize. She said she was getting frequent EMAIL and the content was rather vile and she asked me to take her E mail address off of V8SHO. So I searched the owners directory and could not find it. I was alarmed because we have never had that happen before on V8SHO. 

Well I searched V8SHO again and it seems her boyfriend penned the infamous "Buford you pathetic scumbag" prose; but is now deployed in the gulf, thanks to the USMC.

Now I don't much like cussing. But I agree with G. K. Chesterton who says those who practice abstinence deprive themselves of the opportunity to practice the higher virtue of moderation. In this case, if you don't curse all the time it has a touch more impact when you ambush somebody with "blankity-blank". 

Well "Buford you pathetic scumbag" was always a popular page. It seems folks knowing Jeremy liked that technical talk, and since he started it, felt it appropriate to share their own creative writing .... often.. Because I was asked in a very nice way, and because I would give my right arm and last kidney for the USMC, I took down the links to "Buford you pathetic scumbag", assuming we no longer hear from Jeremy again.

For those who rose to defend me, and they may have been many offenders. I extend this note of gratitude for noble intentions but questionable judgment in the highest traditions of V8 SHO. And, you guys know who you are, (I don't) I award them all the highest decoration in SHOdom the Vibrant White Oval.

Thanks
and please &*()_ #$%^ knock it off
and keep it of the list.

ENCL: Vibrant White Oval decoration,
If this page is white you may be !#$% &*() guilty. ;-)

Buford
