Your DEI and inclusiveness is touching. "Why can't we patronize Ceeboo more?" Hound, leader of the DM HR department asks, with a quaking voice.
I will point out one thing to you, the rules of this forum get applied unevenly as heck for a lot of reasons. It's totally in your control to change it. All you have to do is report the posts where the insults are happening and the mods will nearly certainly deal with them. You can assume mods are intervening unevenly, and it's due to bias, which is of course possible, but it also can be due to who is reporting offenses.
If you have reported a post and it wasn't dealt with, bring it up to Shades directly, and it's nearly 100% likely the problem will be fixed.
We can't take farmers and take all their people and send them back because they don't have maybe what they're supposed to have. They get rid of some of the people who have been there for 25 years and they work great and then you throw them out and they're replaced by criminals.

This.
We’re not exactly a ‘busy’ board, but there’s enough activity to make monitoring of every post not possible at all moments. The ‘report’ feature overcomes that.
Also, words referring to intercourse or rectal evacuation seem to have a long history of use on this board and an outright ban on their use has never been imposed. Personally, I’d prefer that folks don’t go overboard with their use, though, and have edited some posts in past days where the point seemed merely to press the issue or to take advantage of the board’s’ history of not employing overly-strict moderation.
That said, context, content and intent still factor into any decision to moderate a post, regardless if reported. Attempting to establish rigid rules that conform universally to every contribution is a fool’s errand and results in bad actors attempting ‘rule lawyering’ or trying to game the system. It’s not like we haven’t seen that before, and won’t continue to see it, even now.

For the benefit of the women in your life - and your future relations with any of them - you may want to reconsider believing that the attire shown in the image from your derail is ‘a bikini’.
You suggested that "higher-level language" meant no "foul language." I want you to defend that.
"Foul" means unclean. Unclean is universally recognized to be at a lower level than clean.
Not when it comes to language. You should be careful using phrases like "universally recognized" since nothing really is.
What's the point of language, if not to communicate? Is it possible in your "foul language is low level" world view that someone using words you don't like is better at communicating than someone who doesn't?
I would think the efficacy of the communication itself would determine its quality intrinsically.
But sure: you can always base it on something less critical to the intended message like individual word choices.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

Apparently you can derail using an image without context but I can't.

Apparently Everybody Wang Chung can post an image without context but I can't.
I'm in the same boat, Hound. I too can't derail by posting an image because I can never figure out how the bb code works.
