I think a modest reminder asking people to behave nice is in place. But no one should be discriminated for "bad language". We do not discriminate people that do not possess "golden ears" or "perfect English" do we? To a certain degree it is the individual's choice to pick his words when communicating but we do have different backgrounds and for some it might be almost impossible to not use what others regard "bad words" because where they come from swearing is just normal behavior. My modest suggestion for the list policy is to not use bad words but tolerate if someone does anyway, if typed without bad intentions. Greetings from Sweden Per Boysen Nice & Modest like h.... ops!
