Wouldn't it be in everyone's best interests and the interests of the site as family friendly, if we just made the rule that anyone who uses or abbreviates the F word took a hike for a month to cool off?

I mean you can be firm, candid, and even vicious with a peron without swearing in public. I'm no saint myself, but why don't we just all subscribe to a higher level.

"2. No Profanity or Foul language. No partial profanity followed by #*@#. We get a lot of young people on the boards and we will not tolerate poor behavior."

Do we apply this rule evenly and to all?

If I "ignore bad behavior" and make a post, how do I see if they are attacking me in public? Do I not have some right to defend myself, and to do that don't I have to be aware of the attack?
