Thank you Bill for confirming that this was not the first time that VK6BE
had used swear words on packet - his HomeBBS Sysop doesn't believe me, maybe
he will believe you.

Well in the case that I am concerned with VK6BE *IS* the original perpetrator.
He was trying to make out that the use of a certain word was acceptable. Now
why he sent out a bulletin that contained that word, I do not know. There
had not been any other recent bulletin ( that arrived at GB7DBY ) that
contained such a word. That does not mean to say that such a bulletin did
not exist elsewhere, if it had then it probably had been filtered out along
the network and had not been presented at GB7DBY.
VK6BE was trying to be clever, to show that he could use a swear word and
get away with it in the context that he had used it. If it hadn't been a
swear word then there would have been no point for putting it in his bulletin.
Claiming that the meaning of the word had changed over time is no defence.
Sorry to disapoint you down in VK land, but VK6BE was rumbled here at GB7DBY.
Now maybe you agree with VK6BE that the offending word is acceptable to be
used in Amateur Radio. If you do then it just goes to show how far down the
slippery slope Amateur Radio has gone in your Country.
VK6BE remains on REJECT here at GB7DBY for DELIBERATELY using swear words
on packet radio.
VK-land , please clean up your act.
73, Pete G6KUI
