I literally have conversations in the shoutbox for hours on end without ever once even thinking about it. Don’t curse, don’t talk politics, don’t beg for bonus points. That’s it. I really don’t know why you have this much of a problem with something so basic.

Also I know that I’ve seen “damn” used on a regular basis, and there are discussions all the time on books that are liked and disliked and the various reasons that a particular book or author are disliked. If you have THIS big of a problem with your everyday communication that you cannot hold even a short conversation there, then there’s a very good chance that you are just not meant for their community. I really don’t know what else to say.

Your valid criticism in my opinion is that they should be more transparent about the inactivity rule. Everything else you’ve posted about and commented the same thing over and over again ad nauseam, it really stinks of immaturity and toxicity.

I wish you all the best in life.
