But not everyone here is an adult. Although I sometimes swear casually
when talking, I agree with Todd that forbidding profanity improves the
community's image and makes it a nicer place to participate. It's often
much harder to tell through writing whether the use of profanity is
casual or intentionally degrading than it is through speech.

Last time I heard the word "darned" or "danged" was prolly in 6th grade
(6 years ago) :) However, I wouldn't really want LUGNET to sound like
the hallways of my school...

Here I agree. People, please don't be afraid to hurt my feelings.
There's so much more I can do with suggestions for improvement,
criticisms of my designs or even _specific_ praise than I can do with
"Wow, that's wonderful!" (Not that I don't appreciate compliments :)
