Can we please keep the poor language (or allusions to it) off the frontpage? It used to be the sort of thing that separated hacker news from the rest.

Poor language? "Fucking" is even starred out!

Our goal isn't to be the most Christian social news site. That's not how we want to be separated.

"Our" goal? You.. claim to represent the hacker news community? And - I presume only - downvote me for my opinion?
I don't want it to be Christian. Just refined :) Just because it's a social setting on the internet doesn't mean it has to be trashy.
If someone goes through my comments and finds I've broken my own standard here somewhere in my history on the site then I admit my hypocracy in advance. I think I've been good though - hacker news tends to be civilised and there's a feedback loop in that.

As omouse pointed out, "fuck" was starred out. Besides that, "Fuck tha Haterz" was what was plastered on the faceparty site. I actually am glad that the OP included "F*" in the headline, because it's accurately conveys the newsworthiness of the article.
Shutting down your social site with a profanity ridden rant on the front page isn't something I've read of anyone doing before, and it will be interesting to see the result (if anyone ever follows up).
