"Swearing"

I notice there has been a lot of talk about banned user etc on these forums lately and a lot of the problem has to do with swearing (I think) anyway I do understand that swearing is not really needed to express yourself and think its right and proper that its kept in check.

My kids do not here me swear in our home life so why should they be able read it on the forum? I do swear at work though but only in adult company and not in front of customers.

Do others feel the same way or should swearing be accepted as the norm on a forum?

Lol :)

does a duckmonger sell ducks?

swearing can be got round by using alternate words. this can be done by taking any noun, and placing somethign on the end. such as duckmonger.

its not rude.. or clever or funny it would seem

Yeh and thats not a good way to keep us on here is it?

So in summary:

If you feel the need to swear put two letters in comment marks like so:

[ST] [FK] [BO] [CU]

Then you're not starring anything out, everyone knows what it means but noone can claim it as offensive because it just looks stupid.


The end.

I don't know anyone who doesn't swear, except my Mum, but she's old!

I swear more than most people I know, but also realise there's a time and a place for it - eg. I don't swear in front of my Mum. I don't seem to find it at all difficult to refrain from swearing on here either.

I am just as bothered by bad spelling, bad grammar and punctuation and the lack of a capital letter at the start of a sentence as I am by swearing though. I know it has nothing to do with intelligence and I can't help it, but it does affect my opinion of other forum users.

I think thats why they ban or warn users and that brings you back to the start of the thread again, no need to swear. :-)

Well just let the stick bounce off! as I said and you must be in the same boat as me just because we cant spell it has not stopped us acheiving "where theres a will theres a way"
