    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.

    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

    Time & a place for everything

    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

    I don't think the OP has been back here since she started this topic.

    I'm just curious... where are you going to go?

    I would like to know where this magical place on the interwebz where no one uses any form of profanity or says anything offensive is...

    I think there's a place called ABCMouse.com...

    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.:angry:


    Can you give an example of what you personally find to be "questionable language"?

    Because in my experience something one might find offensive, another will not.

    Surely you don't expect posters on a public message board on the world wide web to conform to your personal demands, right?

    What do you call a lady getting on her high horse in an internet forum?

    I suggest making generous use of the 'ignore user' feature, I know I do. It makes the forums much more readable. I ignore people who are ignorant and/or d*cks rather than profane, but whatever floats your boat.

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

    Oh good gravy! You need to come to terms regarding your choice of expletives; By George, cats have fur!

    The internet was created by humans and is composed in large part by cats. The nature of the beast is both volatile and unpredictable. Come prepared, expect anything.

    Some of the wisest and most mature people I've ever met swear like the cast of a Quentin Tarantino movie. Nice way to generalize there.

    I have it right on my profile that I'm not a mature adult. If there are any on my FL, they better get the **** out!

    Everyone is entitled to their opinion of what is appropriate. If you are offended, by all means, block people, delete them from your friends list, even go so far as to report posts you feel violate the board terms of service, but you had to know that starting a thread, on the wrong board, basically telling other adults what they should and should not use to express themselves was going to end badly and in my opinion is trolling.

    see, that is where we start going wrong as a society.

    Heh, yes, but unfortunately if I want to continue stringing profanity together like its own language I have to consider the opinion of other sentient beings as valid as my own. I don't always respect it, but I feel they are entitled to it.
