Please people, please stop using questionable language on the board. Some people are offended by what you say so lets keep it clean. Thank You - I suppose you are going to tell me if I don't like it, go somewhere else - well I just might do that.

hmmm..... have you never heard offensive language in your life? Skip the topics that seem to go that way, and respond to the topics that stay inoffensive.

Words are just words, they really can't hurt you. If you don't like certain language maybe you should stay away from the boards, as we are all adults here.

Cant wait to see the gifs for this one

Nice to see I am not alone, but not as brave as you in sticking my head above the parapet

I have deleted "friends" and blocked posters who can only post using expletives, no need for it IMO

I also note we are much same age, possibly a generational thing? However that is not a reason we should tolerate such language

I guess I look at it this way, If it offends you, ignore it. It may offend someone else that you're telling them to not do it. I understand that some people don't care for it, but seriously, if you watch television, it's there, do you contact the television stations and tell them the same thing or do you just change the channel?

Look, I'm just pissed off that I can't post animated gifs. So I totally get you girl. I think I might just have to leave also

Dear OP. Please take this posters advice. I mean not the part about "not tolerating such language" because the idea that the way you were raised means you somehow have a right to tell the rest of us what words we can and cannot say is ridiculous.

But by all means. Block and delete. This is how adults on the internet deal with things they don't like.

Well I mean. Some adults. The rest of us are going to post hilarious GIFs. Wait for it. Its coming.

Sometimes it is necessary... saying "aw, pussiefeathers" doesn't get the same point across.

^ This.


I'm actually irritated that the board censors language because I'm all for profanity.

I certainly have, and used it. I spent over 10 years in the Royal Navy, but this is not, nor should not be, a messdeck on a frigate

Hitting your thumb with a hammer may be reason to swear, sitting typing at a keyboard is not

Casual swearing is not adult, it is childish

How sad. Can't come to the boards for fitness or diet help because all the 'adults' can't be civil.

Not exactly sure what language you mean, as all curse words are filtered out by MFP.

**** **** ***** **** *kitten*

^^^see?


*eta - hahahahah, guess not ALL of them

ladymiseryali

Telling me not to use "profanity", just makes me want to do it more. :devil:

Words only have power if you allow them to. Just because certain words hurt your "virgin ears", doesn't give you the right to demand that others not use those words. We're all adults here.

Wait...

What was the question?

The more I think about it the more offended I am that someone thinks they have the right to tell me what words to use.....

Cursing is not allowed on MFP. Most of the "bad words" are blocked from appearing and can earn you a strike if you try and go around it to use the language as an insult towards somebody. Simply report such language.

However, since foul language doesn't appear on the main forums often, I will assume you're talking about things that aren't really offensive. Are you going to tell me that if I say "you have a really nice *kitten* from doing squats" in reply to a success story would be offensive?

I mean, we're adults so if I use the word butt instead of *kitten*, in that context, you should know that there is no real difference?

So really, why are you so easily offended? I find many things offensive too mind you. My solution. I suck it up because just because I'm offended by something doesn't automatically make the other person wrong. I raise my voice when the other person is wrong.

I'm not sure if "everybody else is doing it" is the best defense.

I use the same language on the forums as I do infront of my 84 year old grandmother..I dont see that changing any time soon.

Who gets to decide what is questionable? You? The Mods? Or should each of us decide what is appropriate for us and act accordingly. If you do not like something I may post, you may certainly feel free to ignore it....but I do not see how you feel that you have the right to censor me, or judge me for what I may or may not find appropriate or questionable.

_SABOTEUR_

What languages are questionable? French? Russian? Klingon?

I need a more detailed explanation.
