Fred,
UNfortunately I expressed myself not clear enough, of course offensive language is not ok, I pointed out that it would be better to keep everything visible for limited time so everyone can see it in order to prevent arguments on who was right or not etc, because nobody knows exactly what was going on.
I fear you didn't get the idea of my post

Re: proposition
Actually, judging from the situation in Sweden at least, the young
would probably consider such language more normal and be
more likely to use it themselves. It is scaring to hear what
schoolchildren are calling each other nowadays and what
language they seem to consider normal. I spent quite some time
on a computer forum where the average age was, not
surprisingly, quite low. That forum was unmoderated, so I
have quite a high tolerance level, I guess.
