How worrying/sad/ridiculous. Fell running is, to many, an expression of freedom. As such, we should resist the creep of big brother with as much effort as would give to a big ascent. The least rules the better. That is the whole essence of the sport. The same applies (or should apply) to our forum.
This whole debate has been bery helpful and insightful. If it helps just one poster to pause and think before they hit the submit button then it will have served its purpose...I support self-policing through awareness rising discussions like this. I will certainly think twice if I think what I might say would be read by a 13 year old.
Perhaps posters ages should appear as part of their forum status?
