OK, I thought, this is reasonable. Louis doesn't like shit. Then, I 
continued reading my mail and found the following from Louis under the 
subject line "Quispe's\Intent":

"Hey, Ostraskaya, why don't you take your finger-waving, law-invoking 
bullshit and go someplace else."

As for me, I don't have any strong feelings for or against the use of 
shit (as I am not anal-obssessed). But, please, let's have a little 
consistency (no pun intended).
