mr white posted purportedly to tell us he was melburnian and somesuch. He got around the ban on the c**t word by using and avatar of a pencil-sketched cyclist with the words underneath Cycle C**TS underneath. His sig also had similar words with an asterisk in place of the "u".

531 and I discussed something about the use of the word (unrelated to mr white) on PMs not so long ago. To me it's not something in good taste. We all might use it occasionally, but it's pretty offensive to women, and not suitable for young posters, in my estimation. We get away with a fair amount here, and I push the envelope, too, but certainly that's too far even pour moi. It was pretty crabby last night (friggin' viruses and adware), and he was one in my sights. As was [165] for his stuck-up-his-own-@rse, petty-minded meanness.
