The F-word is lousy adjective or adverb. Hollywood long ago over-used it so that the shock value has seriously been diminished, and all that is left is a coarse, harsh tone that generally reflects more about the person using the word than the situation that person wishes to describe.
And no--we do have freedom of speech here. The forums, however, are paid for by advertisers. Unless you are paying a monthly subscription fee, your choices are to A) comply with the rules or B) go to another board.
I'm not a moderator, but I think the generally do a pretty good job. I am suprised they don't play even rougher as language police.
So...try Frickin' or frackin' if you just have to have an F adjective, but I think you'll find a well thought out post without the colorful words will get more response in the long run.

The Constitution only puts limits on the government.
This Forum ain't run by the government.

Actually, that isn't true. In the Security Aviation case in AK Federal Court, employees of Security Aviation were saying that they were going to cheer when Robert Kane got his release on bail and Federal Courthouse security overheard them and said they would kick their ass if they did. Well, maybe not kick their ass, but maybe they would trundle them a little bit.scubabri said:read the constitution, freedom of speech is nothing of the sort, all it says is that the GOVERNMENT can't restrict freedom of speech and the press.

Dude, do I have to be an expert? Can't I be a novice or student?Occam's Razor said:Ahh! A Constitutional Law expert!
There are statutes that restrict "Free Speech" in 14 different instances.
You've named one. Can you guess any others?

Go ahead and rattle off the other 13, unless one of them has something to do with falsely yelling fire in a theater.

So now you have to list the restrictions on free speech.
(You got the "fire!" right..."Public Safety")
To get you started I'll list some general categories:
1. Threats
2. Secrets
3. False Statements
An interesting drill. No fair Googling!
Oh yeah...dweebs heckling Moderators isn't a crime, even though it should be.
