[wp-forums] tongues and language....

[Vicki Frei]

I'm more than aware that most of the rest of the world finds US mores silly and 
stupid as to "four-letter-isms", I just don't think there's a need for that sort 
of stuff on a forum like this one.  It tends to become more egregious over time, 
  and I tend to feel that it leads to more open abuse of other things as well as 
to a less helpful, calm, and usable system.

Just my opinion, and I AM opinionated, we all know that.  Regardless of how I 
talk in the privacy of my own life, though, I do believe that swearing, 
name-calling and other vulgarities should be checked at the wp support forum 
door, to be delivered upon exit....
