That’s the goal, yes. If you can suggest a better way to accomplish it than what we’ve come up with so far, I’m happy to hear it. However, with all respect, saying we should have “a general clean-up” is not a useful piece of advice. It’s like saying all we need to do is enforce the “don’t be a jerk” rule. It’s not that simple.
Precisely. I’m not trying to restrict the range of discussion. I’m trying to limit the use of a handful of crude expressions. If people think the board will be sanitized as a result, that’s their privilege, but it’s not an argument I can take very seriously.
You’ll have to excuse me, Veb, but I’m not following the logic here. You don’t want the SDMB to be a swamp, but you apparently also think we shouldn’t impose new rules, or at least not this rule. What then would you propose?
