While I do appreciate your willingness to clarify and with all due respect Mathew, I must disagree . This thread has nothing to do with other threads that you may be participating. Profanity should never had entered it at all.
I believe you are incorrect regarding posts being deleted. I have personally seen entire threads started by the forum administrator suddenly get locked down and disappear. I don't understand why as admin asked for people to give opinions only to delete the thread. What useful purpose does that serve? As for censoring, it most certainly does exist on RCU for quite some time. While I do not use RCU now, I can say that, in the past, users were unable to type
You are correct by stating that children have probably seen or heard the profanity that you decided to add. I would hope that they would not see it in print from a RCU moderator trying to promote his view on the site. Do the administrators there allow the same use of profanity in an effort to get a point across? I would bet not.
