How about voluntarily moderating the use of four letter words? I can see it as a major turn-off for some potential new supporters that stumble onto this forum. It's becoming all too commonplace.

With great freedom comes great responsibility. Exercise it or lose it.

This has been discussed many times before.

It won't happen. Too many obviously very young people who participate in these forums mistakenly confuse cussing on a private internet message board, with exercising their 1st amendment liberties.

It's a matter of manners... It's not socially acceptable to go through a shopping mall yelling obscenities. Saying them here is no different except the people you offend are potential RP supporters and they see you as an example of the typical RP supporter.

Aren't there more important things to discuss than your sensitivity to people's foul language? Grow a backbone.

I'm getting a little tired of all the religious talk around here too. Would the mods please do something about this.

Using foul language is ignorant and rude. I'm sure someone will come right back at me with some smart alec answer, but it's true.

Words only have the meaning that you emotionally attach to them. Just because you feel the word "fuck" is bad doesn't mean everyone else does. It is a real versatile word when you need to add extra emotion to your meaning.
