I can say this much about the Language that is sometimes used on this list. I would think people would stop and think about who is reading it. If you would not write it to everyone you know think about why write it on a list where you don't no every one it is called manners and I am sure we were all taught them as kids. I think about it this way if you are not going to talk that way in front of kids then don't talk like that on a list where kids are members
I would think that people think about what they are writing before just writing.

I had to stop and think what words in the messages you've flagged for profanity set off your filter. Clearly there are some obvious ones, but the words "hell" and "damn" (note, not "god damned or other variation" are so often used in common speech and writing today that people like me, who have a very laissez-faire attitude towards my children's language don't even think twice about using them, and having to stop and change that standard brings us up short. In saying this, I am not at all demanding a loose interpretation of any language rule, I just wanted to let you know why it might happen for some native English speakers, and especially from speakers of other tongues without the taboos we Americans observe. It would be helpful, sad as it is, to produce a list of banned unacceptable words/phrases, so that there is no doubt what you mean by "profanity". My definition would be far less restrictive than it appears yours is, and I'm cool with that, but let us know what your definition is. Thanks for your efforts. Chris Bartlett P.S. Above uses of what may be deemed to be profane language are illustrative in nature and in no way are intended to flout the list rules. Thank you.
