    I'd prefer if there were no filters for swear words & no need to prohibit use of certain terms in forums, but instead that site members could be relied upon to use language & tone appropriate to the discussion in hand.

    Rather than banning terms/swear words entirely, it would probably be better if action was taken against their abuse/overuse where it is noted to be detrimental to the discussion.

    Irish MEPs were angered at Mr Flanagan's choice of language when he asked Mr Kelly: "Do you not believe him? Do you not think we are talented enough to attract them anyway without becoming the scumbags of Europe?"


    Well I suppose if its good enough to say in the European parliament its good enough for here ;):)
