Swearing in the forum.
We frankly wish people would take more care with their language and not use either the F word or the C word. The F word is very offensive to many, but it's an almost ubiquitous term for many people, especially young men and young stoners, and so, even though we would prefer not to see it used so widely, we know we'd be fighting a losing battle on that one.
The C word falls into a different category, frankly, and had I seen your post first, I'd have acted in a similar way. The C word is a term of insult and denigration to women and is likely the most hated, most insulting term you can use in front of us. We do have rules against personal insults here, and if you need to satisfy yourself that you received a rules-based infraction, you need look no further than that rule.
Try and keep in mind that this is a big, public Internet forum where people of all ages and sensitivities gather. If you wouldn't use the term in a personal discussion with someone you didn't know, then that's often a good indication that you might not want to use it on a widely visible Web forum.[SIZE=\"4\"]\"That best portion of a good man\'s life: his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love.\"[/SIZE]
