Gallego, on this board profanity is completely fucking acceptable. Our policy from the word go has been that there are more important issues in the world than the use of expletives, as made clear on our front page. If you wish to use them yourself feel free to do so.
However we do not encourage pointless insults, although we do have an unstated policy of not sweating the small stuff and expecting others to be similarly tolerant. Some of the issues discussed here can result in a bit of heat. You get that.
Thank you for your post. In my case, I will try to minimize the use profanity, and I can promise you that I will never apply any profanity whatsoever to any other person (even though profanity has been applied to me) in this forum. I have not done so yet, and I will not do so, nor will I engage in ad hominem personal insults.
I admit that I did use some expletives as they pertained to the moon god fo arabia (I think his name is allah). In those cases, the moderators deleted my expletives as they pertained to that allah guy. I accept without complaint the work of the moderators there, even though I cannot think of any other entity that more deserves the application of the most profane of expletives than this allah guy.
I may from time to time insult that allah guy and his prophet. if you have a problem with that, please let me know. I will abide by the wishes of the Mods on that one. I happen think it's OK, because there are lots of places in the KKKoran that insult us kufars.
With respect to issues that are raised, ad hominem personal attacks WILL NOT be my MO. They have not been my MO yet, and I will not go there................BUT......... I will, where I am able and where I deem appropriate, question the issues rigorously, and in so doing expect the moderators to live up to the same standard they have already asked of me.
When I make a categorical statement, I will back it with references. This I have done (verse 4:24 and Al Jalalayn's Tafsir thereon being an example).
Where I make a statement based on hearsay, I will identify it as being based on hearsay. This I have done. I only do that based on statements from people I trust. Some of those people include Arabic Chjristians. At least one of the moderators seems to have trivialized my reliance on those people, for reasons that have not been made clear to me.
