We just need a quick nickname change policy where we fix these problems without having to get Jimbo's approval first. (My understanding is that we already have established that we can do this, but Brion thinks we need to wait.)
Brion did think that, and he was right. But yesterday I said that there's no need to ask me first. Let me know when something like this is done, so I don't miss it, and let me know *before* if there's some question about it being borderline.
Don't exaggerate this problem. I do not want it to become a breeding ground for general hysteria about "foul" language.
Yes. I curse like a sailor myself in appropriate contexts. Foul language doesn't bother me. But wikipedia is not an appropriate context.
There's a danger of a person or group of people deciding to get their jollies by fighting us about this. Yes, that would be stupid. But some people have too much time on their hands.
