Re: [HoE] Call for discussion, re: Vulgarity

["jason adkins" <danthius@hotmail.com>]

If this is an opinion test, then yes.  I believe the current policy should 
stand.  I'm participating in this forum, in order to bounce ideas off other 
people, and hear theirs.  I am not here to listen to anybodys ability to use 
foul language in the most colorful methods possible, in order to affront the 
integrity of any individuals.  I have no problems with the occasional or 
frequent, (as the case may be) use of "bad" language, if it is within the 
context of a submission or query.

-OK-
ie: "Do any of you, know how the "damn" rules on such and such are supposed 
to work?  I can't figure it out, and this "shit" is "pissing" me off."

-Not OK-
ie:  Needs no example whatsoever, you already no what I'm talking about.  
See Eric's submission as example.

                       Thank you,
                       Jason Adkins
