You can play foul by calling names and using certain improper words, and you can misbehave by acting underhandedly and using poisonous rhetoric tricks and traps.

Of the two, I take much greater offence from the latter. The barb goes much deeper, the trick is meaner, the wound hurts more.

As long as this discrepancy between foul words and underhanded rhetorics is not properly considered, I do not give overly much for rules just banning words. Fouls words are the lesser evil.
