If the General is supposed to be like PG 13, is it ok to qoute a poem that has foul language in it on the forums?

I'm just asking cause of this:

I'm not complaining that he qoutes it and seems to think it was bad poem. But he didn't block out the foul language part. I was thinking that foul language was against forum rules.

That poem of mine that he qouted from my blog has a certain word that is repeated constantly throughout the poem.

I was just asking for clarification if it was ok to qoute such lyrics in the general.

So you're checking if he'd get punished for quoting... you?

No, my question was in reference to including the f word.

From past mod rulings, I think it is ok for him to qoute me as long as he includes a comment. I think.

It's just that I thought that if the forum was PG 13, that foul language could not be used.

What I am doing is asking for a clarification of the policy.

He did make a comment at the end.

As far as I know, swear words are allowed to a fair degree. I have never used them myself in that I find them rather gratuitous.

I think they're pg-13 in terms of content, not in terms of language. Unless something has changed, that is. I drop f-bombs all the time, and I've never been warned for it.
