I can assure you, Ozstamps, that it is in no way considered acceptable behavior (even without the superfluous "u") in America.
Perhaps because I am perceived as a running mate of Attorney28's (not true, incidentally), I have gotten quite a few e-mails about this situation in the past day.
Some said they would be supporting me. Some said they would be supporting Attorney28. Others said neither. All, however, expressed their dismay at how this is being handled by the TalkBoard moderators.
Most of these e-mails came from the U.S. Two, in fact, came from American moderators who have not publicly posted on the issue (understandable considering the backlash they might face).
The question here is not one of Americans vs non-Americans. What is unacceptable on the playing fields of Eton is also rejected in the schoolyards of Brooklyn.
