Should SportsFilter Think of the Children?

Kerrycindy, a new SportsFilter user with an 11-year-old son who reads the site, is upset that profanity appears here. Although we discourage some profanity and delete most profanity that's personally abusive from one member to another, we've never had a rule here to keep it as clean as a PG-13 movie. Our archives will show lots of examples of George Carlin's seven dirty words. Should we reconsider this policy and clean our act up?

I'm thinking about connecting Delicious and Twitter to the huddle, so that SportsFilter users can contribute sports links and comments on those sites and have them automatically end up here.

MLB Post-Season Pick 'Em, World Series Edition

DrJohnEvans — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 01:40:48 -0400

An underdog-free year means lots of points for everyone, withe the possible exception of the L.A. faithful. But now it's time to fly east into the rain and snow of November, and wonder whether baseball actually got around to writing up a rule which would prevent last year's Game 5 fiasco. Crack open your rulebooks and make your picks inside.
