in reply to Monastery Abused ! Action ?

I see absolutely no problem here. In the CB, I've seen people talking german, french and dutch. I've seen talks about women, sex and relationships. I've seen bad and tasteless, but also good jokes about literally every subject. And I love it so.

Freedom of Speech also appplies to the CB.

    Freedom of Speech doesn't play into this. Freedom of Speech only regulates what you are allowed to publish on your own. I see it more as an issue of common courtesy to behave as in polite company in the CB. The CB is (part of) a community, and to me, decent and respectful behaviour is important in that community.

    agreed, personally i love all kinds of filth- even filth i dont understand.

    anyway, isn't it just easy enough to /ignore the person?

    I believe it was the author Evelyn Beatrice Hall who wrote (in the early 1900s and under a male pseudonym as was customary at that time), 'I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it'. I feel I have to agree with her even though I can imagine some rather unpleasant possible cases.
