Bean, I am responding with a separate thread. I fear you are regrettably wrong in your facts, for which yu provide no cite.

Interesting indeed. This thread was started by someone who had posted once before this, and a year and a half before at that. She made a post that was widely (whether rightly or wrongly) interpreted as spam. She received some gentle suggestions that it was spam, which is not welcome here, but she was also defended by others who noted that she was at least up front about the nature of what she was posting. One person, five days later, gets a little more adamant about her dislike of what had preceded.
The statement about these posts being toned down versions of the original merely taints the evidence with no way to verify for anyone who did not copy and save the originals.
I invite anyone to look at that entire thread and decide if it shows a general tendency on the part of anyone towards nastiness.
I will not take this to the PM or email level because then your side will not be seen by anyone else except, perhaps AnnaStrophic and not even by her if requested. I do not share private correspondences.
BTW, it was not a demand; it was a request. Yes, please do, thank you for offering is not a demand.

... why this board does not have a hammer, like other chat boards (no answer); some of the language was filthy, to say the least. This board doesn't have a hammer, because there is no need for one as long as people (and most do) exercise self-control. By self-control I mean just that. Understanding and following the context of a "discussion board" - vs - "chat room" would be all that is required, but that, IMHO, is where the real problem lies (or is that "lays" )  . Also IMHO there is no such thing as "filthy" language. Words are words. There may be inappropriate times to use them, but that is a matter for discusion here (whaddya know). There are sensitivities that are respected when respect is given to all perspectives from the "get go". This is not a "chat board", and I repeat, this is where any and all "problems" have risen from: the inability, lack of inclination or just not knowing to the difference between them. What you may have noticed recently (ewein - I don't know how far back you have read) is that there are a few posters who continually refer to the deeds and tones, yet not to the words being used or the meaning of the words or anything at all about the words. I've said it before "The only stucture people need is self-control", but it's not the only "thing" they need. An understanding of the context they are in is another big one... this requiures time and patience, something "chatting" doesn't allow.
