In the old days, you couldn’t call another FReeper a b@#@h and get away with it.

I don't know...I've been lurking here for quite a few years, and I have always viewed it as an often merciless place to post. Certainly not a place for the timid or thin skinned.

Merciless place to post? Perhaps, if you got your facts wrong or were saying something controversial. But the moderators usually wouldn't let posters personally attack each other using expletives. That's totally unnecessary and detracts from the forum, in my opinion.

As the posting page alternatively says:

Please: NO profanity, NO personal attacks, NO racism or violence in posts.
