It started out as a debate/discussion forum that would be free from the
usual restrictions/oppressiveness of moderated echoes!

If it fucking makes you feel special, swear away!

But most people will look upon gratuitous vulgarities as a sign of
illiteracy, and move on to more interesting/intelligent messages! (fair
warning)

There have been periods of flaming activity in here, but most got bored
of the standard crap, and about the only flames that were tolerated were
the more interesting/intelligent ones!

You want flaming?

I'll give you flaming!
