I am confused, if this a public or private board. It is free and open to the public, does that make it private or public.

If the owners of the board would take some action to deal with the problem; be it to clarify what is acceptable, or to put in an auto corrector, or anything, at least define the law of the land and enforce it equally. Anything to stop the CONSTANT complaining about language. As it is now, this thread keeps going and going due to a lack of action (and perhaps people who get upset at the smallest things.)

For now, if you don't like the language, ignore it or go away. I ignore it. On the other hand, the owners should take action of some type so that at least you know how things are going be. This is just like Randy and the DL thread. Ignore the fact it even exist and maybe it will go away. This is really simple, either ignore the issue or deal with it. Then, depending on the outcome, people can decide for themselves if they want to stay or go away.
