I am not a fan of banning foul language but I also didn't dig the insulting "Slut" title. At first I was going to change it before posting on it but then I remembered the SNL reference from Dan A, "Jane you ignorant slut". so I left it alone. But any of us can change the title on personally insulting titles when we respond, and I think next time I will. But as far as what is written below the title, I vote, let it rip. We can all ignore what we want and I think the people who attract foul language have pretty thick skin. I don't see anyone getting dogged out without supporters jumping in.
