Drivel is "childish talk" (mom insults, anyone?)

As to your other points, I think they are good. For me, intelligent debate does not talk about fucking anyone's whore mother in their ear. If that is what I was looking for, I'd read YouTube comments.
edit: admittedly, tptacek does have a point re: the flag button vs. blacklist.
- bonsaitree 17y agoKudos indeed. I'm glad Tptacek brought up the often-neglected 'flag' feature. Again, there's no accounting for taste, but offhand I'd say labeling curse words, and their creative use, as "childish" is quite overreaching. Have you read any David Mamet, Frank McCourt, or Larry McMurtry lately? Do you honestly feel a child would have sufficient skill to structure prose in that fashion?
- ericb 17y agoI never said anything about cursing. I said mom insults were childish. So yeah, if I had said that, that would have been overreaching.
