:EC:I'd also like to note that on the history of that page, Dr. Pain proposed inserting language to discourage profanity, but he was reverted by his old pal Emmett. That would indicate that according to the way the policy has been interpreted, there is nothing officially discouraging profanity. Discouraging profanity is effectively trying to control people's opinions, as it is not just censoring the user of profanity, but also forces other users to view that kind of behavior in a negative light, regardless of whether they have a problem. If anyone here doesn't like the use of profanity, that is a personal opinion, and it will not be forced on other users.

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.
