What is your evidence for that, my friend?

Haha! Smile

To the contrary I think!

And seriously.. I was thinking today why alienate people sensitive to swearing? Do we limit our audience with a no swearing rule or with a swearing is OK rule?

I do not believe there needs to be one in place. I believe it should be a judgment call on all the admins/mods... If you have some asshat that is cussing out everyone and being a 100% certified troll, then I believe they can deal with it plain and simple.

I am certified as a troll by the highest authority known to man, the christian god as represented here by its followers. What are you guys waiting for?
