I didn’t see your posts Yunki as i had the reply window opened up for a while as i made a veg curry for tea.
Yeah i agree wi you regarding the “broken window theory” with regard to swearing but what i take issue with is the sometimes moral hand wringing wrought out by certain mods who are obviously nameless and faceless, i’ve never deliberately try to go out my way to post anything offensive/derogatory or suchlike, i guess you could say i practise a form of “broken window theory” in my neighbourhood by keeping the verges clean in our close and sweeping the pavements/roads, clipping the grass that grows through the fences and suchlike, keeping the grass cut and tidying up for our neighbours who are that bit older or find it difficult to do so for themselves and it does genuinely make a difference to how the area looks afterwards so i do understand what can happen if we let standards slide, however gradual that may be.
I do not wish this place to degenerate into into a free for all as i’ve been forum member since it’s inception way back when disc brakes were something fancy and almost aspirational, i like it the way it is, although i do think TJ and a few other long time users and contributors should never have been banned but that’s another argument altogether 😉
