I am not a conservative by any means, please! I wish that profanity be
banned here in order to foster the ability to make choices. If the same
standards apply here as on RTL, then there is no choice to be made. Let
a hundred flowers bloom (1)
An absolute ban is easier to administer than one that requires
judgement. It would mean filtering out your witticisms, which offend
almost no one, but that's a small price to pay for not having to
administer a ban that requires much more human attention.
1 - who said that?
