It has been brought to my attention that some
individuals throughout the board have been using foul language during the course of normal conversation with their piers.

Due to complaints received from some members who may be easily offended, this type of language will no longer be tolerated.

I do however, realize the critical importance of being able to accurately express your feelings when communicating with
fellow members; therefore, a list of "Try Saying" new phrases has been provided so that proper exchange of ideas and information can continue in an effective manner without risk of offending our more sensitive members.
