The Agora
In the spirit of the Ancient Greek Agora, we invite you to join our vibrant community - a contemporary meeting place for the exchange of ideas, inspired by the practices of old. Just as the Agora served as the heart of public life in Ancient Athens, our platform is designed to be the epicenter of meaningful discussion and thought-provoking dialogue.
Here, you are encouraged to speak your mind, share your insights, and engage in stimulating discussions. This is your opportunity to shape and influence our collective journey, just like the free citizens of Athens who gathered at the Agora to make significant decisions that impacted their society.
You're not alone in your quest for knowledge and understanding. In this community, you'll find support from like-minded individuals who, like you, are eager to explore new perspectives, challenge their preconceptions, and grow intellectually.
Remember, every voice matters and your contribution can make a difference. We believe that through open dialogue, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to discovery, we can foster a community that embodies the democratic spirit of the Agora in our modern world.

Whose strong emotional response? If it were a rule that users should be civil to each other, or that we need to stay on topic for the post, I'd agree since those are I think more easy to delineate. But if I just use a word you don't like, and it's not a slur or targetting hate at you or anyone else, I don't think it should be against the rules.
Rule number 1 for the instance is "Be respectful..." which I think covers most cases here.
It's possible to be respectful while using "vulgar" language and vice versa etc.
Yes that's more or less what I meant, I'd be fine with that.
