Thank you for your time.

We have no words. That's the issue. We can say "Damn" and "Hell" and "Idiot", but that's only because a lot of people don't even consider them to be curses anymore.

I can't speak for the climate of Early 2015, since I never came on chat back then, but I think our current userset should be able to handle working within a certain set of guidelines for using curses.

It sounds like the issue with 2015 was that there were literally no rules for it; it was a free-for-all for a community that had never been given freedom like this before. That's a terrible way to give more freedom on anything, not just cursing.

We're proposing adding curses, but under a set of guidelines that make sure they aren't abused. I feel like that's certainly reasonable enough.
