I'm fairly new to this board and joined to gather information on a replacement for my aging (but mint) G1000. But there is one thing I have a difficult time understanding. What on earth is this (frankly, scary) obsession with (perceived) offensive language? This is the second time I have seen a reference, actually, a reprimand, to someone for using what, to me, is a totally innocuous expression. Obviously, there is a line which should not be crossed on a board such as this but there is also the even more repugnant act of setting oneself up as the morality censor for the rest of us (who aren't quite so uptight). Besides, isn't that the responsibility of the site administrator? This is a music-oriented, international board populated by people from many and varied cultures. I'm not defending Claudiu, who appears to be a very young teenager stranded somewhere between annoying and amusing. I,m just saying that being called on the carpet by some self-appointed language czar for saying something as mild as what he said, pisses ME off. From what I can gather, the average age on this board is at least 50+. If that phrase is still bothering you, then perhaps some counseling is in order, or at the very least, a "chill pill".
