ok - but in day to day conversation on th Ledge are people boiling hot grease on themselves? Probably not

These guidlines have been in place for a long time -but now that we have new moderators - mods that spend a good deal more time here - they are charged with making sure that the rules and guidlines are fired....

Not being able to curse is not a big deal - just because it's used so commonly now does not make it ok - I think it's disturbing and sad.

And yes - there are other ways to express anger and frustration than curses.
