Swearing in threads?
Can someone please give some guidance as to the acceptable level of swearing content in these threads.
Is it up to an individual to decide for themselves how much is appropriate- and then accordingly type their post- and it is up to the reader what they think- and if they don’t ‘€u^”ing’ like it then they can ‘€u^” off’
If this is the case- is it then ok to litter all posts made with vulgar profanities on a regular basis? - even at the possible risk to the integrity of the forum.
Or is their an unsaid etiquette that lends itself to the general avoidance of swearing- for the sake of common decency.
Or what is it?
Comments
Context surely?
It's a public place. I act like I do any other public arena.
Most posts here don’t use serious swearing. Those that do, tend to apply it as an expression of emotion. Self-censoring works quite nicely here. Even people who just don’t get on can often find a reasonable accommodation. Some posters appear to include what to others is minor swearing as part of the way they speak. For example, those that refer to ‘their shit.’
No offence is intended, and if AB Forum were to adopt the ludicrous ‘safe area’ or thought police attitude destroying healthy expression and robust debate in our universities, it would IMHO, be a lesser place.
It seems like most everyone that uses this forum are very decent people. I hardly ever see anyone swearing... I think. I tend to look right past it some times though
I think it’s just unspoken etiquette. Like don’t be an asshole and everything will be fine. But if for example, a word such as the aforementioned can get a nice point across, I think fine. But I wouldn’t curse AT someone. No no
I’m the son of an Irish builder, and grew up in Essex. Cussing was part of the language I grew up with, and I find it expressive, rather than offensive. What does offend me is bigotry in any form, or unjustified personal attacks in comments.
Funnily enough I heard (and learned) more swear words, when I worked in an office with a bunch of middle-class, university tech heads. Made the bikers, New Age travellers, and punks I knocked about with in my spare time sound like choir boys in comparison.
@robosardine I’m imagining you having drafted an editorial opus strewn with glorious vulgarities, just ready to post (or alternatively a complaint about someone else doing that!)
I don’t see much swearing here, but I feel a bit of colour (if apropr1at3ly rdact#d) is fine - as long as it’s not directed at people as @db909 says!
Ef this shiz
Fuck off cunt.
There, I got it out of the way. Feel free to pile on.
I try to avoid it when possible. With that being said, sometimes it is just impossible, so I've cursed maybe a couple of times. I usually go for the church-friendly substitute instead of the actual curse words themselves. The acronym method works well too.
Would-be tone policers should go get laid and leave everyone else alone.
This is basically it for me. I swear less here, come to think of it.
^ And this. @fprintf pretty sure you were just making a joke but I think it's a shitty joke.
I'm not tone policing. I couldn't give a flying fuck how others choose to relay their thoughts or feelings. I refer only to my own tone.
Reminds me of my studies in my youth, barristers in court using profanities always seemed quite surreal, not to mention extremely hilarious.
I don’t see this forum as a public space. I see it like a room full of like minded musos, mates, travel companions. In my home country the use or Sir is the norm, but since I’ve left, some 25 years ago I just adopted the more direct English you and I just stick with it.
What I’m trying to say is that what I care most is the intention, vibe, feeling I get from a person. Maybe seeing through swearing is an art in itself but I’ve met smooth talking kind that wouldn’t think twice to take your money or your woman.
At times this place feels like a primary school. No politics, no swearing, no this, no that. To be honest I reckon all there’s to it is not to jump at each other’s throats for expressing views.
People who are easily offended by swearing might want to consider that this is indeed an internet space, where pretty much anyone’s welcome. Because of this, diversity should be accepted in all forms, as long as it doesn’t intentionally hurt others. I think so far we are all doing a pretty good job of it. Not a small feat for a public forum.
Well said, sir.
I actually find in super casual situations swearing is a nice way to say things are so relaxed and casual we can even use any forbidden words and it's all cool. The more heated a situation gets though, I pull way back on the potty verbs... until it reaches a breaking point, then the naughty speak, which was a declaration of freedom in one case, becomes a weapon in another. I don't care much either way, but we are lots of different folks here so why not just avoid it. I think #%^* is always ok though.
Because I grew up in an environment where everyone else was doing it, I hardly cussed at all - it put me off. It was only when I hit my 30’s and was surrounded by posh sounding, potty mouthed web techies that I finally succumbed.
To be honest I’m painfully polite as a rule, but get me going and I can bellow a creative collection of rare expletives, louder and greasier than a ships foghorn.
I came from puritans... The Mrs. corrupted me.
I don’t think I’ve ever used a swear word.
I find polluting potentially useful threads with dross far more offensive that a bit of swearing.
@fprintf You made me genuinely snigger, I get your angle.
I’m 46, you wouldn’t guess.

Have a nice day!!!!!!!!!!
@supadom
Excellent post.
@AudioGus ...a declaration of freedom in one case, becomes a weapon in another....
Very good line, worth stealing....
Must be doing something right here despite all the darn swearing. Was just looking for some setup info on Gadget Midi learn. This is what Google returned:
&^%#%!! @jakoB_haQ and #&^%#%!! Forum!
Here is the southern US, when a woman says "Bless your heart!" she is either wishing you well or telling you to f*ck off. Sometimes both at the same time.
Sometimes in the great white north when it’s @#$&;#$ cold our mouths and hands are frozen stiff we can only think bad thoughts @#$&;$&
