BC started off as a spin-off from a posting forum of a major British ISP (LineOne, now taken over by Tiscali), and a post like that on Tiscali wouldn't see the light of day!

You're right, though, that post doesn't come close to an infraction on BC.
Thanks, I was hoping you would chime in. I eventually learned that most of the degrading posts on BC are not really as mean-spirited as the first appear to be. Many of you blokes personally know each other and just enjoy talking that way. If this board were to receive more international visitors, I think there will be a bit of a culture shock and a boatload of bannings. That would distract others from joining the board and therefore making it difficult to become truly global.
