oops - my apologies. I just checked the story on the archive and no f word. The word that was used was s..t. Bad memory on my part.
At any rate, I consider the s word far worse than the f word and so that's probably why the use of an obscenity stuck in my mind.
I'm uncomfortable about citing the specific story, though, especially in "public" on the mbs. If it really matters, let me know. I should add that I was not bothered by the author's use of the word, but rather by the different standard. I certainly don't think that the use of either word warrants the removal of a story.
Also my apology for the Pepsi spew, Labrat - that must have been sticky to clean up.
Hope your keyboard isn't gummed up.
