Fortunately, it is, instead, a cool space...it's certainly not a hot fiery forge where great ideas are hammered into action.
where great ideas emerge on their own.

Nobody should feel they have to censor views.
No, I feel that I do not need to use vulgarity and other slang terms to espress my self. I believe that using such language lowers one to a smaller intellect and I try to keep from looking and sounding like a fool.I got rid of the idea that passionate expression of an idea implies rude and or foul language a long time ago.
On the other hand, when it descends into a flamewar where all parties are mearly coming up with less and less imaginative ways to say 'you suck', is there really valuable discourse going on?
Are you likely to get valuable discourse when both parties descend into attacking each other's character, rendering the probability that they'll give weight to each other's words virtually nil?
Here is another tip for everyone who participates in forums like this. If you are ever involved in a SD shooting and you are prosecuted by a savvy prosecutor, he/she will look for things like these postings - and, since SD cases are hard to win without the defendant taking the stand, get to read each of them back to you in cross examination. It is not that hard to jerk your computer on a warrant, get your forum name/s and then find hundreds of ridiculous statements you have posted. Relevant at trial - of course they are. They go to intent and your mental state. I recently saw this used by a prosecutor in an assault case. The defendant was a "martial artist" who had posted some really stupid remarks on various forums. Not my case, fortunately. For your own sake, stop posting these remarks.
i feel that this is one of the more overmoderated boards i am on, so, consequently i almost never post here anymore.

I'm glad to see you're still here, too. Apparently we aren't as bad as you thought we were when you joined up and told us how miserably the Staff was runnin' the joint.
