I think this is all a lot of bluster over some very minor things.

Okay. Of course, you're entitled to your opinion. I would rather return to the days of less moderation. I don't think that it was literally "anything goes" before; it was more lax but not that extreme.

We can't have complete free speech but I would like more. To quote Sondheim "Why can't it be like it was? I liked it the way that it was."

I feel it's disrespectful to all of us, frankly. And I think the f*cking versus f ucking thing is just silly. They're pretty much the same thing so I find that whole thing kind of laughable.

These things may seem minor but when they're all put together then they seem offensive enough to me. Yes, I know it's a private message board so it's not my decision but I can certainly disagree.
