Why do you supose it is good discussion? I would think its because we don't have to fear how we are expressing ourselves.
I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. But weren't you the one who said that you usually use jerk as a one word fits all description? I don't personally swear a whole lot. I don't think that anybody on this site swears much.

As far as why the discussion is good, it's because the quality of posters is good. I don't think there is a fear of expression on the other site. There is simply a suppression of many good discussions there by moderators. It usually has absolutely nothing to do with language.
