Van said:(2) Swearing and insulting is allowed when your an adult and you get angry but not for your kids " Do as I say and not as I do "
Once again, you would be correct if there were children present. There aren't so your statement is moot.
I agree with you about this being a matter of E* providing the programming they should, but your assumption about swearing is way off base.
Whether or not there are children present shouldn't matter. Swearing at anyone for ANY reason is unacceptable. I've been guilty of it myself, but later I realize that it adds nothing to any sort of conversation or argument. I think that was Van's point.
As to the Noggin/N split. There really is no reason that E* isn't going along with the split. I'm fairly certain there was no large outcry to keep Nick GAS around, so why not split the two channels.
