Too much authority bad?

[Gibs]

Is too much authority bad for some sites? I want to run my own forum soon and I am thinking about letting it be a free for all forum where we can speak our minds and just go crazy. I know that's not always good, but there will be some rules, anything truly offensive, disturbing, will not be allowed. But I will allow swearing, arguments (debate really) and maybe some more. Nothing too bad really.

Is this a good idea? I was once a member of a community that went this route and they did pretty good.
