Thats were i decided with all the cursing that this was just a big waste of time. You want to reform something you cant throw around the f word and other curse words. Clean up your own act before trying to clean up mine.
Im out.

If you think you can talk about reform for the forums it all boils down to respect of each other. POINT BLANK. If your going to curse thats a lack of respect in my mind. Speak to me like you want to be spoken to and thats how you reform a forum.

There is nothing wrong with the majority of the "profane" words used other than the social stigma attached to them.
One of the rulings going into effect is to be polite, to that effect, using "sh*t" descriptively is acceptable, calling someone a "**Filtered**" is not.
Censorship is not generally needed for a group of intelligent individuals.

This I do agree with, but you know exactly what I was talking about because you felt the need to change it.

I do agree what was posted was inappropriate, thus, it was removed. Would you rather I left tasteless material as is?

Killtacular wrote:No I would not like you to leave it. But you are the one to say cursing is not a concern. Why change it? Are you now conceding that cursing to get a point across is not needed and it shows a certain respect to think about what a response should be.
Respect is the key. People are the doors. All keys are different but to open each door there is always the right key.
