Irving: I don't know what you are referring to, specifically, but I'd like to offer how I feel about the general topic of censoring language. I don't think thought is being censored here. You can talk about anything you want to.

But I think this forum is a great deal about "tone," and nothing creates more contentiousness and discord than swearing, if that's the kind of language you are referring to. There is a great deal of energy in those words, negative energy.

This should be the one forum where positive energy prevails, even though people are expressing strong viewpoints. It is possible to express strong viewpoints without drawing negative energy. Be aware of the power of language! It's a really important issue.
