refugee here, just joined today and trying to learn the platform.

just a FYI, you'll get/keep a lot more subscribers if you tone down the hostile vulgarity. your beef was with a few new peeps/mods that setup a sub with rules, not a bunch of new people.. just saying because a few devote peeps or christians will find it offensive and leave.. never to come back and help or support. thin skin has nothing to do with it, it's more an Anti-God, Anti-Christian feel on first impression.

**of course if christians aren't welcomed, then just say so and 20,000 to 40,000 of the refugees will leave after they dip their toe in water. just saying. Last time I'll say. Hopefully was mostly the shills and immature punks. ** fire away. jmo.

MUCH agree. Have been in a fire dept, married to an RN and in the Navy. I can handle foul language. It's just offensive and not worth the bother, imho. It is NOT welcoming. It is NOT mature. It is a distraction and does not focus on useful meaning; functional dialogue; content rich word choices; collaborative attitudes; warm collegiality; kindness; mutual understanding; clarity ... etc.

I suppose a software solution could censure the worst words if a user used a toggle switch in that direction.

Or, the foul-mouthed could have their own romper-room venue to foul the air in.

Or, perhaps they could grow up and increase their vocabulary in useful, meaningful words.
