Seems like a bit of an extreme reaction to my comment..  But I think it's fairly self-evident when someone is being a bully & harassing other users. It's not just using a word here & there, but things like throwing out insults to other users, generally being mean, etc..  I'm also genuinely curious when people think online forums should be basically a wild west free-for-all and allow that kind of thing.  That's the kind of thing that drives people away, which is the opposite of what I think we want in a public forum.  It's not about "burning books" or anything like that, but not putting up with people being bullies & trolls, etc., doing things that drive people away.
