Rich G, you bring up a good point. Firstly, please understand I am fairly new to the board myself. As far as I can tell, the rules of the board are set by the board owner, and not the users of the board. Allowing users to decide what words are and are not acceptable changes the general operating structure of the board.

Changing from owner based management to user based management is a FUNDAMENTAL structure change and will require more time from the owners. The owners would have to sort out the difference of opinions from the many and growing number of members as to what words are acceptable.

As I have stated in the past, I would like to see only clean language, but not at the cost of the right controlling censorship of the board. How nice it would be if I could start a thread and edit out language in the threads I start, and only threads I start. This concept has been mentioned before and vetoed by the board owners.

Finding middle ground will probably be the solution. In the mean time, I think it is better for no censorship then censorship by one or a few people.
