For a lot of people that is normal everyday language. I think we can safely assume that the vast majority of participants here are adults. Adults talk this way.
For a lot of people it is just salty language. Also, this language does not fall at all under the rule you cite. Your sensibilities are offended. Oh well. It happens to lots of people everyday. People could just as offended by your holier than thou attitude, but that isn't against forum rules either.

Fine for you to think this way, but I, for one, have no desire to have you be the moral arbiter
Just my thoughts on the matter.

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts

Do you have ANYTHING on topic?
Staying on topic might be a nice change.

It says to avoid behavior which is inflamatory.
I personally do not see how dropping the F-bomb or any other "swear" word is "inflammatory".
Now if I called someone on the board a "fucking asshole", that would be inflammatory.

You heard it from Taz folks. Preaching or just recounting a story rather than debating is OKAY!
Have you even read the OP? Have you read any of Mod's previous posts?
OP writes:
so i'd like to start an actual bible study and what's simpler than front to back. i say we read a book a month and discussion will start on genesis on august first. i'd like anyone to participate and we can discuss personal issues with the stories, potential facts, and of course good old inaccuracies and stuff. i've never managed to read the whole thing and i'm probably not alone.
So Mod was staying with the OP. He isn't preaching. He is giving his feedback on particular chapters of the bible. Now if you were in topic you might want to try to counter his criticism. Instead of wasting posts complaining about bad words.
So, you ahve anything on topic? ANYTHING?
