Mook, I grew up in the USA to, as many here have. Most of us here choose to respect others. This is a privately run site with public access, so it has rules for those to choose to use it.

The conditions of use are fairly simple on the public boards. Respect other people and don't use language that would be unacceptable with children around.

If you choose to disrespect others or use unacceptable language on the public boards, chances are pretty good that you are going to be put on hide or banned from the boards. That goes for everyone, and is just the way it is here. This is a family site and the public boards are monitered closely.

If you should choose to upgrade and purchase a membership, I think you will find that there may be some fellowships you would enjoy if you like this type of activity is what you are looking for.
