Don't get me wrong. I am NOT going to censor anyone. Not my job, not my right, and not my responsibility.

I am one of the most ANTI-PC people you will ever meet, I believe in Freedom of Speech.

But I also believe that with Freedom comes Responsibility.

I am trying to get people to filter themselves. Because even if a moderator gets is appropriately, it may already be out there in the world. And no matter what anyone tells you, reputation DOES count.

I can see your point too, but, to me, a board that is populated (even by hotheads) that allows all of the underwear to hang out (dissention, rebukes, persuasions, etc.) is infinitely more impressive and noteworthy in history's eyes than a bunch of censored PC-ridden crap. At least this way, you can get a sense of what everyone is really like and how they acquit themselves, and that, to me is a real reputation.
