You're trying to obfuscate what I say but I see through you because that's how truth works. I never said you won't find profanity on FR, my argument is you don't find PLENTY of it like you want to suggest. If it's deleted, then how am I to see it? And if it's not there to be seen then how can you say accurately there's plenty of it on FR?

Very well, whatistruth. You seem to feel very strongly about this so there's only one thing left to do. You should perform an exhaustive screening of every post on every thread on FR and report back the number of profanities vs the total number of posts. Then divide the smaller number by the larger so we have the percentage.

Since this will take quite some time, so we'll be denied your unique contributions. I speak for all of us that we're ready to make this sacrifice.

No GB, you accused me of all manner of things that I am and that I’m not, now I challenge you to either back them all up or shut up and go to bed!

I remember reading a story about someone actual doing something similar to this just a few years ago. They came up with the frequency of profanity on several popular conservative and liberal sites. I’m pretty sure that Free Republic was one of the sites included.

Just did a Google search and found the article. Very informal non-scientific:

Count me in. I'll make the sacrifice....

*sigh*
