My apologies for not having the time to read all the posts here. Here's what I think: I have no problem whatsoever with WORDS - it's how they're USED that matters. In other words, a sentence like "It's another f****** rainy day here today" offends me not one bit, whereas somebody saying "What kind of question is that, you stupid or what?" should have his post removed. No linguistic robot is ever going to be able to make that distinction. Eds eds and eds (moderators) 24/7 is what I vote for.
