I was thinking "Quoted for truth". Because damn do I see the truth in that statement.

As long as swearing is used to make a valid point then I don't see what is wrong with it. Obviously just calling someone a stupid SOB when you could call them ignorant is something that I'd want to ban. I think swearing in cute little jokes or something silly like that is just fine. One thing I like about Atheists is that we don't get so offended at swearing. Most forums will ban any type of swearing or they will censor it. I hate censorship.
