Disclaimer: I am highly offended by foul language. Please refrain from its use, or, if you must use it, please censor it.

I am afraid I have offended one of the site admins - I deleted a post of his from my previous blog due to the foul language it contained. Therefore, I am formally apologizing here for stepping out of line. However, an important question was brought up by this incident - what is the limit on bad language?

Children do visit this site - people from 13 to 16 should not be exposed to R-rated language - but the general rule is worded "Do not swear excessively." This also goes for blog comments. But what is "excessive" swearing?

The blog in question had already had two different people posting swear words in comments. The first one, I warned; the second, I removed. Two of certain swear words is enough to earn a movie an R rating here in the states - so are blogs allowed to go into R-rated territory?

And what amount of control does a blogger have over the language others post in his blog? If a blogger (such as myself) objects strongly to foul language, should he not have some control over what language is found in his blogs? Can he not at least request that any foul language posted in his blog be censored? And what should be done about comments that contain such language?

I've been working on and off on Lions of the Atlantic - correcting game bugs and fixing issues. Look for a release in a couple of weeks.
