If there HAS to be a punishment (and again I'll go on record to say how much I oppose censorship), I'd say a 3-day block for a naughty word on the third offense, provided the word isn't directed at anyone else on PB in a way that might be hurtful. See? It really isn't that hard to sit down and offer concrete suggestions for various offenses where the punishment is more consonant with the "crime." I wish Dr. Bob would just rent some old George Carlin videos or (if they even exist) videos of Lenny Bruce routines about "dirty words" and how the "filth" exists in the mind of the listener, not in the word itself. Do you have a dirty mind, Dr. Bob? You look like you're thinking of a dirty joke in your pixie pic. ;) Atticus
