Damn excellent choice!
"Moving beyond apologist persuasion, LDS polemicists furiously (and often fraudulently) attack any non-traditional view of Mormonism. They don't mince words -- they mince the truth."

I'll second that. It might help keep some of the TBMs - we all want that, don't we?
Unless there is a desire for the board to dwindle. Even other religious types besides LDS would be appreciative of not having their sensibilities assaulted by gratuitous naughty words. Something that flies under the radar of young anarchist-types is noticeable to us fogies.

Hence my previous statement -- if there's ever a problem, bring it up, simply because it DOES fly under our radar. The responsibility is yours, even if the action taken is ours.
So far the celestial forum is a good place to be. As stated if cussing, porn, flaming, bomb throwing, ridicule, and personal attacks are not allowed in the celestial forum, the board should go well. No LDS can complain about attacks in the telestial but even there, there must be some form of civility toward other posters...we are after all, all human, respect would be nice.
