Thanks for the reply. I hope that nothing I say never offends you, because I really like talking to you. Anyway, I will defend my points one by one:


 * 1) I understand that not everyone is a Christian. This point is mainly directed toward Christians, or anyone else who believes what the Bible says. I still think that this is a very good point, although I realize that not everyone here agrees. If you do not agree with this point, then so be it. There are more points. Also, I believe that you are slightly incorrect on your interpretation of Ephesians 5:4. This is the actual quote (based on what you said, I assume you were using the NIV, so I will quote from the NIV): Nor should there be any obsenity, foolish talk coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. True, it does not give specific examples, but it says, There should be no obsenity, which is out of place. Obsenity is out of place, no matter how it is used. I see your point about my wording in the beginning of my blog, where it says, "swearing," so I will change that to vulgar language.


 * 1) I'm glad you agree with me, and you are 100% correct on that one. Yes, there are things that are not needed or are unnescesary, yet are done anyway, and yes, it would be a huge pain to ban it all. But, some things are unnescesary, yet are not wrong, therefore they don't need to be banned. This is merely a reason to oppose vulgar language.


 * 1) I don't know if you are right or wrong. I see no way to find out what exactly they mean without asking them.


 * 1) Your points about users A and B are very good. I find no fault with them. I am glad that you are willing to comply with whatever policy is eventually decided upon, and I see that a compromise may be wanted.


 * 1) I disagree with your statement. If a young user sees it, then the harm is already done, and it cannot be undone. If the vulgar user quits, the young user has already seen the word, and nothing anybody can do will make it better. And if the younger user's parents see, they may not allow him to return to the wiki.


 * 1) I see your point. I realize that this may have been immature. However, it was not meant as a threat, nor even a reason to oppose vulgar language, but as a result.

I hope you understand everything that I am trying to get across.

P.S. Oh, that's why. Thanks.

P.S.S. About your comment, "If swearing is immature, why is it called adult language?" Well, who says that adults don't act immature sometimes? Just because they are an adult, doesn't mean that they're not immature.
