LOLOL! Of course, some disallowed words and other inflammatory material will slip by - but the intent is to encourage debate and discourage flames.

"ha? we can't say "crap" on FR? you've got to be kidding me!"

Whoa! But, but , but, my mother paid good money for behavior modification sessions so I would use that word instead of the really bad word. Now what am I going to do?

I want to protest. If the rules are such that "crap" or "ass" are forbidden, then the rules have gone too far.

I spend my time with people who argue for a living. There are times when the argument is so bad, the only rebuttal that needs to be said is a mild profanity. "Give the fool the answer his folly deserves."

We're adults here. No one's virigin ears will be harmed by a mild profanity like "crap" or "ass." None of us will be offended by use of one of those mild profanities. Frankly, I find the censorship to be much more offensive than any minor profanity. Now, JimRob's house, JimRob's rules - but if it is really one of his rules to ban "crap," I have to argue that rule is ill-advised.
