It ain't broke. Don't fix it.
The names that In This Mind were not out of line. Would it have been any better if instead of someone calling her a "Moron" they said "You are a person of borderline intelligence in a former classification of mental retardation, you must have an intelligence quotient of 50 to 69."
Moron, idiot, dumbfuck and the like are only discriptors of perceived personalities or intellegence. Is calling Frodo 'intellectually dishonest' any less "insulting" than calling him a lying sack of shit? Is calling me a 'misogynist' any less insulting than calling me a woman hating son-of-a-bitch?
It's all good. Let whatever flies fly. The original rule ya'll have about flaming, trolling and such is fine as is. I believe if you 'tighten it up' it won't be as fun and informative here any longer.
Besides (insert any user's name here) is a fucking idiot and needed to be informed as such.
'Sexual innuendo' is a sexual innuendo.
???
I find sexual innuendos very insulting.

I used to tell a lot of religious jokes. Not any more, I'm a registered sects offender.
