Not for nothing, that's what shajandr suggested -- a pilot/experimental "try" >>

I guess we did expect fireworks and hoped that it could be contained to a smaller sampling.

I've got at least 15 years worth of personal attacks saved up.

Let's get this moving.

Being the thought police takes a lot of effort and man hours.

I think you need to remember that most of the time, you two only hear from people who want to complain about what they think is wrong with the site and has injured them. So yes, you evidently get a lot of complaints from people who think they should be allowed to attack others. But as I hope you've seen over the past few days, there are a great many users who do NOT agree about that.

Can't believe that I'm saying this, but I'm actually looking forward to it. My initial reaction to the proposed changes was trepidation. I mean, I've seen what can happen to a board when the posters collectively discover that the word "bullshit" does not violate the PG-13 rule. It was suddenly like a herd of cows on prunes. My Sister Benedict Mary side had to resist the urge to smack them down with a ruler. (She was my sadistic fifth grade nun, and the initial reason why I was attracted to the life of an IHub mod.) But the more I think about it, the new relaxed rules are going to be kind of like the Vatican 2 reforms of the 1960's. Sure, all hell broke loose, but at least with the Latin gone we finally knew what we'd been saying all those years. Of course in IHub' case it will be what we've not been saying. Somehow I think all this would have appealed to Sister BM's wicked side.
