I'd say it's rather the other way around. If it's ok to German ears it's most 
certainly ok to English speakers, not the other way around. The overusage of 
f***ing or xyz-nazi are two examples. Brian is off by a lot to all kinds of 
ears I know, certainly German.

If the netiquette of this list was enforced most of that kind of language 
would be gone.

Everybody is entitled to have an opinion as long as there is a technical 
reason to it (since this is a technical list) and as long as the wording is 
acceptable.
