   foul language?   
   that would be moonshadao.   
   he sets the standard here.   
   how many otherwise valuable   
   contributors has he turned off.   
   what surprises me is how many   
   are sympathetic to his cause.   
   i guess the usa is so rank   
   with xian proselytizers and   
   new-agers that this ng must seem   
   like the place to get back at them.   
   what a waste of an otherwise   
   friendly, tolerant and peaceful place.
