I'll give Jeff some credit here. Pretty much any online place you visit that allows profanity ends up devolving, to some degree, into flame wars and general nastiness. I think it does lead to more civility around here to keep things clean. Personally, I think the dang thing is beyond silly, as we're talking like pre-WWII levels of decorum, but it's Jeff's sandbox and he gets to make the rules. That I respect. This site, like Tony Allen's recent play, brings a lot more to the table than it takes off it.
