Profanity

What is the forum policy on profanity?

I have seen a couple of uses of Profanity here and there...for the most part we are adults here!  Nothing blatant or directed as malicious personal attacks.  It remains a much nicer place to be, not having the Profanity!

I will say that in today's social realm Profanity has been very commonplace (example; WTF) everyone knows what it is but it is not needed to have an intelligent conversation or communications!

Agreed. Thank you.

Believe it or not, profanity is mean for pain.

In general, I would want my kids to be able to read the forum.  But, my kids are aware of profanity, and my feelings about it's use.  So far, nothing hear would phase any of my kids who can read.

Profanity does not make me feel faint and swoon.  I use it myself.  I just think it's crass to cuss in public.

I'm guilty - so shoot me - PC sucks - your kids hear more and dirty language at school and in public
than your poor delicate ears can handle. I've seen nothing here that crosses the line - of course my line doesn't have a PC moderator on it - maybe we need to rate our answers ( pg-pg13-pg17-R - etc) - my rant about PC - it really pi***s me off when people become PC stupid.
( Just in case - PC = Politically Correct - if you didn't know - A liberal term  )
