Just my 2 cents.

Wise words. I'll admit that when the occasion arises I can keep up with the best of them but I think profanity is over rated. I have yet to see anyone win an argument by out swearing the other guy. Writing swearwords is something I have never done. Can't do it.

As to SubSim's policy on swearing I agree with it. Just reading some You Tube comments tells me that this is the way to go.

And with the Canadian dollar the way it is that is my 1 cent worth.
