   Ah, so now you're promoting the reading of the chat log that you were   
   so worried people might read the word "shit", that I was using   
   descriptively in my evaluation of the c64dtv colours. Although I notice   
   that the log is censored anyway, so I fail to see the problem.   
      
   For those that require an uncensored view of what happened:   
      
    no excuse for shitty colours   
   ...   
    it is rather shitty really   
    ok, doesnt affect h/w hackers so much   
    but for ppl that buy them as xmas prezzies   
    it is shit   
    shit oh crap shit shitty shit   
    cheap shit chinese manufacturing   
   ...   
    sorry, i've been informed that i should watch my fucking   
   language   
    apologies   
   * Slarti was kicked by Snogpitch (language)   
   ...   
    chill out slarty   
    all i said was shit before   
    snog should chill out   
    jeez   
    i know but snog has issues with swearing   
    any children here? anyone under 18? no   
    and as u can see, he is the op   
    Don't bait the lion, slart.   
    And the chat logs are public, Slarti.   
    right snog, you have fun with your politically correct b/s man   
    oh the logs are public?   
    well a ban is also possible if it gets out of hand   
    anyone reading this in the future, I do apologise for my   
   fucking childish use of the english  language, that was shitty of me   
      
   Yes, after I was kicked for using the word shit descriptively, I did   
   get slightly silly about it. Still as a regular on #c64friends for some   
   time I'd think that a permenant ban is somewhat harsh considering I   
   insulted no-one, was directing my language at no-one, and as you can   
   see from the abridged log the main issue here was that Snogpitch is the   
   channel op and has issues with swearing.   
      
   Too fucking bad mate, you wouldn't want to come to Australia then, eh?   
      
   Note that at the same time, Wildstar/Rick Balkins was spouting profane   
   insults towards myself and others badly translated into german. Even   
   though this was pointed out, he recieved no warning, kick, or ban. I'd   
   say they could be found in the log, uncensored for any german children   
   to read.   
      
   He also referred to the user Lime-Mack as "Lime-Dick", all while   
   Snogpitch was watching, Snogpitch even gave a link to altavista   
   translator when someone raised the issue.   
      
   So snogpitch, about time you got over this bout of political   
   correctness and removed this permenant ban, don't you think? Or should   
   all regular and long term #c64friends members expect this kind of   
   treatment?   
      
   A permanent ban for your behaviour is completely inappropriate.   
      
   The swearing wasn't that bad at all, most kids do worse. Wildstar seems to   
   be protected for some reason even though he often irritates people.
