Again, as I stated people who use profanity without moderation and intelligence will be ignored or marginalized out of the forum. (Plus you are discriminating against my heritage....another issue).

The old saying give a guy an inch and he'll take a mile applies here as well. I could open up the forum and let everyone curse up a storm but the problem is that there will always be a few bad apples in the bunch that take it too far and ruin it for everyone else. I can't allow profanity for some and not for others so to level the playing field it's not allowed at all.

WTF? Religious fanatics take a marathon when given an inch. Moderators eliminate “hardcore religious freaks” more so than people who use profanity. I am asking for this site to acknowledge my First Amendment Right and not to take place in a marathon of profanity.

So to lay the bottom line down for you. This place is not a democracy.

Beautiful statement and worthy of another tread. ‘ Democracy is one of the worse form governments, but the best one that we have invented’.
Again, with EMPHASIZM, my issue is not with profanity, but censoring my first amendment rights. Again, if I use profanity abusively, like some religious fanatics abusively use god, then I will be ignored or marginalized out of the group.
Give me a better reason then our first amendment right constructed by our deistic founding fathers, and then I will subscribe to your rule about profanity.
I am not asking to use profanity, I am asking for the censorship to be removed. Why do you believe that this forum will be any less chaotic with profanity than with religious freedom?
I don't mean to be an ass, but feel like I am making an honest statement.
