shit, damn, hell and ass.
For these words we now have a free pass.
We're all adults,
and I hope the results
don't end up being too crass!

Not worry Mark. There's always the one, which is why all forums require moderators.

I do not believe it is up to SETI@Home to provide a private forum where people can discuss anything and say what they like.

This is not part of what SETI@Home is about.

If there are enough of you that want this it would be very easy to set up your own forum and invite people to join.

Please not here. With some of the post I have seen recently I do not even think the Politics forum should be hosted here at all!

The bottom line here is that we're all adults. Let's use our best judgment when posting, and try to show our complexity through mastery of our native language. I think you'll find that if you do that, you won't have a need to use cussing or swearing to get your point across.
This I agree with 100%

An American Project & forum deserves an excellent quote from a famous American that can be applied to the people of the world.....

"You can please some of the people some of the time all of the people some of the time some of the people all of the time but you can never please all of the people all of the time.”

To use these words in your cognition
shows a true sign you lack precision.
A lack of grey matter
is displayed in your chatter
and shows you need cell division!

That was my second, first, fourth and third.
None of those words are very perfered.
Though you won't see them in my past
I'm sure from me you've seen the last.
And from this point forward to remain unheard.

Thanks Fred.

Suggestion the "kid friendly" in the rules box on the left might be changed to PG-13 or reference it. Some might interpret it to mean the same "kid friendly" as the FCC does for broadcast TV which is considerably more restrictive.
