OK, regarding the use of expletives and colourful language.I find it peculiar that various methods of clandestine use of the language is acceptable. For instance,if letters are omitted and replaced by asterisks then it would seem that the meaning of the offending "vulgarism" is thereby tolerated. As an example,the sentence"The f****ing A**H***e gave the poor woman a kick in the c**t". Now, from what I have observed in the past,this would probably be tolerated.Perhaps the powers that be think the readers lack the intelligence to de-cypher this nonsense? Euphemisms are another example of this,such as Pierre Trudeau using "fuddle-duddle". Also the use of non-english words in place of offending words.That would make the post more interesting to the Moderator,as he/she would have to have a library of dictionaries to catch the culprits.As if he/she did not have enough to do reading this inane drivel! Queen Victoria must be laughing, as her era seems to have returned,if it was ever gone!
