Or at least not entirely. I think I do agree with Shell B as far as cursing goes. I can see the potential benefit of trying to keep the name calling and what not to a minimum. But just like you felt I was being a bit disingenuous with some of what I was saying, I tend to doubt the credibility of someone who says they're genuinely offended because I said the weather was shitty instead of the weather was not very nice.
Wanting to curb the name calling and insults I get. But if everything has to remain rated G, then it really does start to look like a safe space regardless of intentions IMO.
I appreciate it. And like I said. I dont think the use of swear words would be disruptive to the discussion so long as they weren't being used to cuss people out or whatever.
I can see no swearing being a rule merely for practical purposes, if and only if it would make things easier for the mods. So there doesn't have to be that question of "well, is this being used AT the person or not?"
So basically your only hang up is people using cuss words towards others? If that's the case, then an entirely new subforum isn't necessary. What you want is better enforcement of the flaming rule already in place. Why didn't you just say that in the first place?

Pot meet kettle.
What's your point? I know I swear - too much actually. I also know that, when swearing isn't allowed, I'm able to control myself.
Seems there are people who just can't deal with the idea of being excluded from one forum out of ~20 - or controlling their language for a few minutes hear and there.
I don't really care what decision is made. I'm mostly interested in pointing out how this thread came about, because the charges that CL wants a safe space for theists are bullshit.
What's my point? Go read what I quoted and figure it out, Sherlock.
