In terms of commenting guidelines, we ask that people merely be civil and respectful. If you feel adding an occasional cuss emphasizes the point you’re trying to make, cool. We’re not here to censor ideas, thoughts or borderline language that adds spice to a comment. But that’s a far cry from denigrating others with name-calling or going above and beyond to be offensive for the sake of doing so. Comments deemed so are subject to deletion and the offender may be banned. We’d really prefer not to take such measures, so please be respectful.
