Who is to say what words are bad and what words are good. "Pissed", in Ireland it means drunk, in the US is means mad. "Nutcase, to some it is a nasty word, to others it is a case of nuts." Are we looking for family values here on this board? Who is going to define family values. If a thread has words you don't like, that is what the back button is for. Perhaps one of you would like to make a list of what words are good or bad, then run for president or appoint yourself to the supreme court.

If you start a thread, it would be nice if you could decide what type of language you would allow in it and edit out what you don't like. However, the owners of the board have decided moderators are not allowed based on who starts the thread (something that is a change which is easily made.) For those of you who keep complaining, I would rather have bad language then censorship by a few people on all the threads. I think moderators based on who started the thread is middle ground. As membership grows, the owners of the board will have to keep re-thinking the best way to operate the board. In the mean time, complaining about language is getting old. Ignore it, read a different thread. I have enough complaints to deal with on a regular basis, why make me read ones about language. Sticks and stones can break my bones..... and so forth. THAT DOES NOT MEAN YOU SHOULD GO OUT OF YOUR WAY TO BE RUDE TO ANYONE ON THE BOARD DIRECTLY.
