@AttilaTheHorn,

That is entirely up to yourself of course! If you don't like people expressing their views then perhaps it isn't a forum for you? You may want to stay out of debates as well that can become rather heated. 😉

@MartinS et al.,

I'm still in favor of reducing or eliminating foul or coarse language at RHP, but I also think we should leave plenty of room for adult play-fighting (which as you might know used to happen around card-tables, back in the day when four-handed card games were more popular).

And maybe Trev (@The-only-Mr-T) has made a good point (indirectly) -- maybe a burden of guidance should fall on you and the granddaughter's parents to inform her that some forum posters here are alcoholic potty-mouths and she should not emulate their behavior, because that would tarnish her own nascent reputation and bring shame to the whole family.

At least to some extent, no matter what goes on in the world around us, we can still make choices and be selective about which elements to include in our own presentations of self.

On a related tangent that led to this other consideration, I have had to deal with a relative and maybe one or two others where eventually I began to wonder: "Why do all the rest of us have to dance around your eggshells?" (Of course in the case of the relative it's just what has to be done.)
