I certainly prefer civil discourse. Some issues become heated, yet there should be a point at which diverging parties simply agree to disagree. I frequent another website that has discussions and forums at least as broad as those presented here at AA, and they have chosen to use a "nanny filter" to BLEEP out many potentially offending profanities. I am somewhat surprised, yet at the same time greatly gladdened that such a filter has not been implemented here.
Free, unedited speech is a wonderful thing. In most instances, I think AA takes a very gentle hand with respect to moderation and censorship - an approach that should be greatly applauded!
That said? It is a fine thing to have an opinion & present it with great gusto! Just please don't stomp on people just for the fun of it.
