Standing rules of engagement

Welcome:
- Comments
- Critiques
- Discussion
- Dissent
- Inside jokes and friendly shots

Not welcome:
- Profanity (violations will be deleted without comment, appeal, or regret)

Bottom line: I've come to see routine profanity as mental laziness. Reasoned statements take work--stringing together expletives is just an easy rut for most. As for humor, I tell my boys that anyone can pull off a fart joke. I don't begrudge anyone their choice of speech -- but I don't have to subsidize F-bombs with my work here. The soapbox is now vacant.
