Here is a quote from Skuzzy of HTC and his view of profanity in the game:
"There is no reason or excuse for the use of derogatory, foul, or abusive language. None.
It is disruptive and there is nothing positive it will accomplish.
Quite the opposite, all it generates is more anger, frustration, contempt, and causes others that were on the edge to go over.
There is no reason children should not be able to sit with thier parents and watch this game be played. If you feel it is inappropriate, then I would say to you, you are inappropriate. You cannot surmise a situation where using profanity or other abusive language is either appropriate or positive."
Some had asked why HTC hadn't chimed in since it was there game & their rules. They have chimed in many times before. I haven't seen anything from them that has a change in viewpoint.
