I'm sorry if I have offended. I don't ask that anyone adhere to my standards. Frankly, it's not like they are particularly high. I was simply raised to keep the barnyard conversation in the barnyard. Since this site has curse word filters in place, I, perhaps naively, assumed that the expectation was to keep a reasonably clean, family oriented tone. I just thought I'd ask that people think about adhering to their own standards, the ones that they would use in public. Sounds like the thought was unwanted, and I'm sorry for that.

These manners are pretty common around the Internet - I am a little surprised that you find it intrusive. Most folks find it to be good manners to keep it pretty clean in areas where their conversation is likely to be overheard.

However, it's also good manners to not force your standards on others, and I won't try. My request was simply that, a request for consideration. Sounds like it has been considered and rejected, and I'll consider that in the future.
