I don't see the reason why would you apologise for your english when you use the words like 'Exeunt' ... Otherwise good joke.

  I understand your point, but 'Exeunt' is Latin! :P

  Probably because the author was compelled to choose his words wisely to comply with forum policies. In essence "damn idiots" is a toned down version of something far more expressive.

    We don't give a shit if you swear. We care about how people treat each other.

      Really? Several times I thought I saw threads mysteriously being ranked downwards, only to find out they contained a formal (or other) discussion of swear words, so I always concluded that there's some sort of "shitstorm detector" at play. But maybe I'm just imagining things...

        Your observations were probably real but you might have misinterpreted them. We do penalize subthreads for being shitstorms, flamewars, or off-topic. (Tediously off-topic, that is. Whimsmical offtopicness is fine.) And profanity is more common when people are upset, so one would expect a correlation. But profanity isn't a moderation concern per se.
