Could somebody please clarify this matter? Wed Sep 23 08:17:05 -0700 2009 251260 vinhotinto75 1 5051871 Profanity is not censored on this site.

Again: "Hate the chow, love the chowhound." A friendly, respectful environment encourages onlookers to offer their chow tips. Our policy on incidental vulgarity, obscenity, and general offensiveness in otherwise chow-ful postings is that anything is OK so long as it's not said in anger or is clearly intended to stir up trouble. http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/367605 Wed Sep 23 11:46:32 -0700 2009 5051868 58743 alanbarnes 2 5068577 "Hate the chow, love the chowhound" is a good guideline. Lately, I've been getting an angry vibe from a couple of posters... I widh they would keep things in better perspective. Tue Sep 29 22:55:05 -0700 2009 5052653 255446 Gigi007 1 5055123 As others have mentioned, we don't necessarily remove posts for use of incidental profanity. If profanity is used in an angry way, directed at another user, then we'll remove that, but in general, just containing profane words isn't going to get something deleted. -- Jacquilynne, Community Manager for Chowhound Thu Sep 24 09:39:08 -0700 2009 5051868 10021 Jacquilynne 1 5055164 there are no bad words Thu Sep 24 09:47:55 -0700 2009 5051868 135229 thew 2 5055180 Words don't hurt people.
