I'm with jacqui.c in not being worried by "language" as such, which would have to be pretty extreme before I'd even notice, but rather by attitude, by the personal attacks and hostility on people whose only offence is to disagree with the attacker - and sometimes not even that, it seems to happen more or less at random. To adjust the old song "If you're not with the one you hate, then hate the one you're with".

But once you've identified someone who habitually goes in for that kind of thing, it's easy enough to ignore their posts without even looking at them. No need to reward them with attention, or make a big deal about censorship.

My feeling about censorship and moderating on the Mudcat is that it's probably about right at present. That's based on the fact that, so far as I can remember, I've only once come up against a situation where I've noticed that a thread has been removed when I felt it shouldn't have been, and I don't think that's a bad record.

But I'd be uncomfortable about having significantly more tidying up, especially if were just about language as such.
