*sigh* I would have preferred that we not have to post the policy out front but, since we have, I feel compelled to add one thing...the first word I edited from StC's post was "screwed". Now I understand that the word in itself is not necessarily vulgar. But the context in which it was used is! If you use that word in any tense to describe being wronged, unfairly dealt with, done dirty, messed around, etc. or in any derrogatory manner then I consider it vulgar and will continue to edit it out...and, boy, is that getting old. The same goes for "I screwed up my putt" or "so-and-so put the screws to me" and the like. It does not hold, however, for "I hit it in the screws", "I need to get my head screwed on right", "I can't get my spikes unscrewed" and the like. Some may feel that this is "normal, everyday use" of the word but, as league pointed out, we intend to keep it cleaner here than what you'd find on tv or even in our own households. If anyone disagrees with this or has any questions about it, feel free to PM me and we'll discuss it further.

Now, pardon my interruption and back to our regularly scheduled thread.
