When I see the the words &amp;quot;defamation of character&amp;quot;, I personally think someone is starting to go &amp;quot;below the belt&amp;quot;. That&#039;s why that thread was shut down, before someone, on either side, said something they regretted.

As to acting like rational adults, refraining from swearing is something I would think a rational adult would do when on a public forum for a family oriented club. I hope that you would expect to see the same thing in your magazine, why should this forum be any different.
