I don't have a problem with opinions. While I personally see no need for profanity, I understand people use it. Additionally, profanity is only partially protected by the first amendment. Some is protected, some isn't. I believe this might be one of the reasons for not allowing it here to help prevent that which is not allowed. Just like your school might not allow profanity on campus even through you have a right elsewhere. And just because you can use it, doesn't make it appropriate in all circumstances, like a wiki directed towards children.

I was cutting slack. Policy states the post be deleted and user gets a warning. I just pointed it out thinking "okay, they'll get it and everyone will move on." Instead everyone decided to make a big deal about it and start yelling at me.

I never said that the majority of the wiki's contributions being comments was a problem. I stated that off-topic comments were the problem. I'm not trying to silence anyone, I'm trying to get comments on track. This is one reason I've been working on an on-site forum so everyone can talk to people in the most appropriate location. Would you be interested in a forum? Do you not agree that topics not directed to the particular page should not be ideally on that page? This might seem like some drastic change but it really isn't.

If else wants to join and have a civilized discussion, go ahead. Any yelling will be deleted.
