This is not a "site," and is not managed (nor manageable),
but is an unmoderated "usenet" newsgroup,
relying on a distributed peer system designed against censorship
(message "cancels" have generally been disregarded since
some group used them massively to attempt to suppress criticism);
the only thing preventing distribution of postings would be
any filters or monitorings at various servers,
either at points of injection, pass-thru, or destination where read
(and finally by individual end users), but there are many distributed,
interconnected peer servers, so there can be no central control.
I realize that censorship versus freedom of expression is a debatable
subject. Whether we should should be civil towards each other, as we
define it, is also debatable; But the definition of civility as you
see it is not the question. The question is are there rules concering
the use of foul lanuage on this site? It is assumed most people know
what is foul lanuage. (???)
We all have the freedom of limited speech, as suporters of Imus have
pointed out. Equally valid, we all have the freedom of chosing which
'radio station' meets our personal sense of civility. It is a matter
of choice concerning who you chose to associate with.
Everyone has choice of personal behavior, of response, and of association.
It's the same issue as besets the entire world in all its relationships
and interactions between people(s); we call it a result of
"group consciousness," however coherent or fractured,
and approach it from inner levels of awareness,
which we find, through statistical observation,
to be capable of projection to the environment
through large group practices of measurable coherence
and effects in society, as well as distinctly felt
individual benefit.
