> The worst word used in the post you criticized was “fuckers.” A search reveals that, in the last three months alone, there have been 184 posts containing the word “fuck” or its derivatives. I also can’t ever recall seeing a prohibition on expletives in this forum. If i’ve missed the rule, or an announcement, would you point me in the right direction?

You can be a bit more forceful in places like the Pit but we do expect the language in ATMB to be more temperate.

We’ve preferred it to be that way since always.

I’m sure you can pull up any number of ATMB posts with titles that are wildly inappropriate – we’ve not always been so good about policing that up – but by and large we do want you to do less cussin’ in ATMB.
