By reasonably adult I mean language that is POLITE and usable in 
professional mixed audiences. Using bad language to express oneself, 
while colorful, can hardly be considered appropriate.

Where have you been? And who are we to pass judgement on someone's 
creative ideas in anything other than play balance? Content is an 
issue that reaches far beyond an individual's conceptualization of 
idiocy. Several Flame wars erupted on the topic of Railguns alone!!
I doubt it is too much to ask that "expressive language" be kept at a 
minimum. And I do appreciate the offender's apology-it shows 
forthrightness and genuine feeling- quite appropriate for our group.
