I shall be more clear, in that case. I have little or no problem with
generalised swearing. It's a part of modern language and while I
generally would not use it in professional written communications
myself, I'm not going to attempt to censor anyone else for it.

What I do not believe is acceptable is ad hominem attacks. There were
what I believe were implied anti-Semetic comments made during the recent
thread and that is not something that is allowed. Simple as that.
