a_k,
You wrote,[...the more restrictive...the less comfortable...].
The restriction of speech, IMO, does not have to be less comfortable for the members here. I am all in favor of freedom of speech, but absolute freedom of speech I am not in favor of, in a mental-health community that has a diverse membership. I agree with Dr. Hsiung about his policy about offensive language or profanity to be unacceptable on a mental health forum. There are places for that type of speech, but I agree that this is not the place. I am in favor of a {well-defined} speech policy here and that is one reason that I am requesting from the administration a determination concerning the use of idioms here.
