Naked Snake, while I applaud you being bold, wait for consensus before making such changes to policy pages. Look at the reasons given by myself, OT, and Dr. Pain on this talk page, as well as those by Emmett and Semicolon elsewhere.

:Go look at the discussion above.  That discussion that you refer to occurred quite a while ago, while I brought up a new point recently which has only had support from everyone besides you.  It has been over a month since the suggestion, and Toomai said that anyone can go ahead and do it once "consensus is reached." Referring to your point, then I could argue that disallowing personal attacks is also censoring users.  It censors users that like attacking people, and it forces others to view these attackers in a negative light.  So why is it not allowed?  Because it's just a bad thing to do.  Same goes with profanity, and keep in mind that I only suggested that it be '''discouraged''', not '''banned'''.  And it's not just my personal opinion that I don't "like" profanity, but rather that profanity opens paths to personal attacks, which aren't allowed.

:Go look at the discussion above.  The discussion that you refer to occurred quite a while ago, and I brought up a new point recently which has had general support from everyone besides you, so I felt that it achieved "consensus."

Some regulation and rules are always necessary so that things don't get out of hand.  Your argument that all perceived censorship is bad would invalidate a lot of other policites.

:Anyways, I see that you reverted my edit already, but I won't get into an edit war with you or anything of that sort.  I'll wait for an admin to come along and make a decision regarding this.
