[wp-forums] profanity on the forums

Reading the last bozo'ed thread and other rather abusive threads around the
forum, I am curious as to why there is no guideline published about the use
of profanity in the WP forums.

Any insights on this? Was it something that was decided specifically?

I personally find the occasional damn or hell to be fine when expressing
frustration, but anything stronger than that, particularly when it is aimed
at insulting a person, seems to me to be very inappropriate in this context.

Best,
