When I post, I sometimes use blasphemous words to underline and stress the point I am trying to make, I never aim the swear word at another poster. The analogy that I like to draw is, once again with me.....football. If you cannot beat the opponent with skill but have to resort to fouls in order to win the ball, then you should not be in the team in the first place. I just thought that I would make that crystal clear to other board members.

Some of the funniest and most amusing people I know, swear like the proverbial trooper. They are fun people to be round. No faux moral crusades on here please, Kenneth Tynan broke that mould fifty years ago.

Tynan used the F word on telly all those years ago and now I hear schoolkids casually using that word and others that would get you barred from this forum as they go to school. Progress eh? Swearing has always been the tool of the inarticulate innit? |

Worth a read of when we voted on it http://w11.zetaboards.com/UK_Debate_Mk_2/topic/11086095/1/ I've twice since raised the issue in the staff room and have no plans to do so again. The compromise agreed and communicated was: "We allow occasional use of most crude words but the well known C word and racial/religious insults are forbidden as are use of similar looking words except when clearly in context. Use of obscenities to amplify insults or artefacts/special characters to counteract the ‘swear filter’ are aggressive rule breaking" So as I read that you can't call someone a shit and especially not a fucking idiot but you can say you think something is shit or ask what the fucking hell is going on |

Swearing got a bad name during the Victorian era! Many of the more earthy terms became taboo in polite society and more acceptable and inventive alternatives came in to common usage, I'm not sure if I approve to be honest, the worse sort of hypocrisy in this regard is newspapers that print quotes and you end up with c***, f*** and pr*** mid sentence, we all know what these words are so why not just print them? |

No it didnt. There has been taboo words through history and in every culture afaik. The words simply change with the times and the people who can or cannot use them. |

Suffice to say that my wife has to totally ignore my language when sat in the passenger seat of my car. |
