The problem with this approach is that now one is trying to not offend another person, making concessions, being politically correct. I occasionally use profanity in life, sometimes in this forum. I like to think that I choose to use a profane word because it is the most appropriate one at the moment.

<<snip>>

I'm pretty sure I agree 100%. While I do NOT use profanity on a normal basis, there are most definitely some days and situations where I WILL spout the most appropriate expletive. It is NOT something I make a regular habit of, but I'm not denying that there is occasionally a time and place for the use of such words... just not ALL of the fucking time!!!

And I *almost* agree with you 100%!

Personally, I have grown completely weary of the current society we live in where EVERY FUCKING THING has become... offensive. However, there ARE a few things that should be avoided if possible, and foul language is one of those... in my personal opinion!

Now, regarding the foul language; I can tolerate it when it is appropriate... as I "hope" to have demonstrated by my previous responses. It just seems to me that "some" of you like to use it when it is not necessary. Again... just my opinion!

And as most of you probably already know, "Opinions are like assholes... everybody has one, and they usually stink!" Big Grin

What’s your opinion of people who can’t make an argument without insulting people?


For the most part, folks who are "insulted" need to take a "chill pill". Razz

bill, I'll tell you right off the bat- I am sick and tired of hearing this shit.

For more than a decade, a policy has been in place in this forum which compartmentalizes profanity.

Please refrain from putting profanity in your thread titles

In order to be "exposed" to profanity, you have to open threads. I think this is a reasonable compromise.

Beyond that, anyone offended by profanity has two choices. You can suck it up and acknowledge the fact that adult males may at times pepper their speech with profanity, or, you can leave this forum.

For as long as I own and operate this forum, members will be allowed to use profanity. Anyone who thinks there are no limits of how much salty language you can use here simply is not paying attention. I've reprimanded many members who've gone off on a tirade. Hell, there's a member or two here who have been instructed to never again use profanity in this forum. They just flat wore it out.

I've got a handle on this and things are how I wish them to be, and that is not going to change.

Anyone who complains about "bad words" in this forum is wasting their time, and I do not want to ever again have to address this issue. Quite frankly, short of a minister or a rabbi, I'm shocked and actually kind of saddened that any grown man in this forum would feel the need to complain about a handful of words.

Again, you have two choices in this matter, neither of which involves me altering my policies.

Any questions?

Yes, Para... I fully understand your position on the use of foul language, and I do agree with your limitation of their use in post titles.

I also agree that there is no limitation on their use in the body of posts... I was simply POSTING my opinion... which I assume has not been banned from this forum. While I prefer to not read foul language, I also agreed in becoming a member here to not be TOO putoff by it. Therefore, I choose to continue being a member here, and I do understand that some folks may prefer to use language that is below their IQ level... that is their choice! Big Grin

It is the one thing I do not like about this forum... and personally is hurts me to say it but it shows some of y'all's intellect.

If many of you spoke like that in my house I would ask you to leave....

What’s your opinion of people who can’t make an argument without insulting people?

But that’s your intent right? To insult those who use words you don’t like?

You could have just said you don’t like foul language. But you had to take it just a step further and add that last part. It was a feeble attempt at an insult and you know it.

I’m not offended. It just sucks that for some reason people seem to be unable to argue a position without resorting to personal attacks. I think the world is much worse for it.

Listen, you can take this and shove it where the sun don't shine., because I'm tired of hearing this from you, and one of the people you're referring to is me.

First, you lay down the insult that people who use profanity are less intelligent- a concept which is demonstrably false. Then, when you get pushback on this, you mitigate your concept by saying "Well, people who use profanity are using language below their IQ level" and I don't even know what the fuck that is supposed to mean.

One of the most intelligent men I ever knew- someone with an intellect that could be downright intimidating without even trying- cursed like a drunken sailor.

I do not consider myself unintelligent; far from it. If you think you can judge the intelligence of a man by the seasoning of his speech, you're the one who needs to question their own intellect.

And, once again, this is the last time I intend to address this non-issue this calmly. The next long time member of this board- who should know better- whines about "bad words", I'm comin' down on the like a ton of bricks.

Any further comments before I lock this?

So, what you're trying to state, my occasional use of profanity in this forum means that I'm not as intelligent as you?

I've already addressed this crap with you. If you don't like the tone of this forum, leave. And this isn't your house; it's mine, but you bitch about how the furniture is arranged.

Never again. Not one single word from you on this subject ever again in this forum and that includes this thread. Don't doubt me on this. I'll yank you out of here so fast, your dentures will hit your keyboard.

Idiotic fucking shit. To paraphrase Doc Holliday in Tombstone, "Let's have an IQ Test." I think the results might be rather eye-opening for some of you who consider yourselves intellectually superior, based upon the fact that profanity gives you a rash. Just incredibly myopic. Unbelievable.
