SFTBone:
No threat taken and no apology needed.

I really did see a guy get booted off of a plane for "acting tough" a few weeks back at O'Hare. It's just not something that you do nowadays on a plane--stewardesses won't stand for it. Although we can't make all people do what we want, we can make MOST people do what most of us agree is the right thing to do. That is the basis of our laws--a social contract. It's when there is dissagreement as to "the right thing to do" that problems arise.

Kids on a plane aside (and btw, I would risk a black eye to keep folks from cussing in front of them--they are that important to me), this thread began with a similar "social contract". The rules were set out and open to interpretation. Right or wrong, the mods have the ultimate say so as to what the right thing to do--or what words are acceptable. I applaud them for enforcing the rules so that all ages are welcome here.

Peace and wisdom to you, too.

Yeah, it seems you can't even go to the bathroom without "big brother" taking notice. They say in the interest of National security, I say they want to control the populus. I agree with you on the appropriateness of language. A discernment, per se. I also think that forums labelled "Lounge" and "Reveille" should maintain that "you must be eighteen to enter or have parental permission".
Of course on the airplane deal, in such a confined space, you can't have some billigerant and disruptive individual! Peace!

This makes me sick to my stomach. America continues on it's downward slope to a time when the words h*** and d*** are used in daily language and widely accepted and those who reject this "slang" are scoffed at. Please, just pick another word. It's really not that difficult. Simply reach into your mind and dig out a substitute word that will fit the context. I know, it's painful, but for the sake of the minority who believe it is both wrong and offensive, try.

And thank goodness for the moderators for keeping the atmosphere clean and friendly.

I don't get it, what does farming have to do with this? (BTW, I live in the big city

)

I don't understand why you feel the need to disparage someone who disagrees with your point of view. We all percieve the world through our experiences and environment and therefore will have differing opinions.

I do regret stooping to your level while trying to make a point. Please accept my apologies.

I can understand why some people have an issue with the censorship that was used as a talking point here, but I cannot understand why certain people are so passionate about it.

As has been stated numerous times this is a privately owned website that has stated rules and thus, IMHO, can choose to enforce or not enforce them at will.

I personally moderate my language when I am around children or in social situations where the patois is not appropriate. If I were called on using inappropriate language I would be embarassed at my crassness, rather than militant in how right I was in using inappropriate language.

But hey, that is just me.
