Getting back to the discussion on profanity,,
I know some here would say if you don't like it you can just ad so and so to your ignore list but this wont work for everyone, such as myself beings I run the pick'em league.
Just a thought,,,

This board doesn't revolve around any single person. You have no more pull here than anyone else, so honestly, quit trying to get the board to be run to best suit YOU. It's irritating.

Really,
That's kind of funny coming from the person that has posted in this thread by far more then anyone else, who coincedently also said,
You clearly had the interest of everyone else in mind when you wrote that.
I take it your not trying to persuade the board to be run to best suit YOU? Or you just feel you should be the only one who is allowed to post multiple times here to get what you want?
I really hope you don't think the thought of you being irritated is going to keep me from posting? LOL
Thank you!
That brings me to another question,, What do you feel about the mods posting their thoughts here? I know one who said it would be best that he not post because he's a mod. But IMO they are members as well and they should have equal say in what goes on here.
What is your thoughts on that?
When we posted this Town Hall Discussion, we agreed that the mods and advisory board members would hold off a while to give everyone else an opportunity to give input, before we joined the discussion with our own ideas.
Top and I, and possibly others, have tried to clear up questions and misunderstanding, but not push our positions.
I would think here in the near future, all of the mods and board members will join the discussion.
Chica Ang - your above post is beautifully written and very eloquent. I understand what you are relaying and appreciate that full heartedly, especially being a lady myself and not really caring to see T&A on here either, but I do not, in any way, take it personal against me or against women in general (and I'm not suggesting that you do either).
I do not want to see the raunch in the avy's, because then I cannot get away from seeing them repeatedly, over and over. However, in their personal sigs, I feel differently about it. I can also uncheck the box for them to be seen!
I believe everyone on this board has an opportunity to have self-expression within their sig of images, quotations, whatever it is. Posters express what is important to them, such as contributions to a father who passed away or about their dog (who shall remain nameless), and then there are those guys AND GALS who would also like to have an image of the opposite sex (hopefully the opposite sex). I do not feel this is intruding on me in any way, shape, or form, as they are not directing it to me, personally as a woman, but just letting people know in general - "She's so hot!". In a way, I look at it as a tribute to women vs sexism. Yes, there's limits on what they can show and should show, but a heavy chest is the least of our problems or a skimpy cheerleading outfit. After all, it's a "Sports" board. This is not the place to be easily offended, as people from all over the world, literally, post here, and they do not all feel that a sexy body is sexism. If this were a Stock or Banker's board, I'd be agreeing with you 100%, but it is not. It's an entertainment board, and thus....should be given more room for self expression and individuality, even if it doesn't always make us feel we are being respected. I say this, as everyone has their own take on this, so we have to be careful not to customize to a handful of posters only.
Personally, I don't think a sports board is the place to yell "sexism".

On the subject of vulgarity, I find it rather vulgar. I would think it better to express ones feelings not using vulgarity. It’s not hard to post a thought without cussing. I have never used vulgar words in my posts and I won’t. I don’t thinks it’s appropriate to use vulgarity on a forum that is designed for users of all ages.
I will not put any one on my ignore list for any reason.
Merry.
