::And (*sigh*) I find this next report almost as distasteful as my earlier report on vulgar metaphors. But have any of you had a gander at [[Talk:Theory of evolution#The answer's simple...|this latest]] highly disrespectful side discussion? ''Il Unione Siciliano'', AKA ''La Cosa Nostra'' ("Our Thing")? Please. [[Logical fallacy#Argumentum ad hominem|Argumentum ad hominem]] is bad enough--but how much blatant disrespect for authority must we tolerate?--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]]<sup>[[User talk:TerryH|Talk]]</sup> 10:01, 7 April 2007 (EDT)

The likely problem with this sort of thing is in deciding what is vulgar and what isn't. I know that some things that Americans consider vulgar Australians wouldn't, and vice versa, and some things I consider vulgar other Australians wouldn't (Horace, I know what you are referring to, but personally I wouldn't use that term. By the way, I didn't realise that you were another skip; have you seen the {{tl|Aussie}} template?). Some terms there would be no question about, but other, more borderline ones, might genuinely be considered acceptable by some and not by others. Is there any way of having a Conservapedia standard on what's acceptable and what's not short of drawing up a list of unacceptable terms? [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J.
