>>are surveys ever taken here in SI to determine, for instance, how members feel about the use of profanity on the threads? How do you feel about it? Personally, I could give a rats behind, but i realize that we go out for the general public to view. And while anyone can access the hard core porn sites at the click of the mouse, I understand their position in wanting members to abstain from such dirty words. But would you imagine they have nothing in place to stop such postings? Only when someone complains are "sentances" imposed on that person. If no one complans, anything goes? Double standards? I'm just asking a question.

>> how members feel about the use of profanity on the threads? It depends on the source, the target, the context, and most importantly, whether or not I agree with the purveyor of the profanity.
