Swearing on the increase
att:
Indeed you have to be so careful with what you say on here most of the time, I rarely visit because of it so I may be seen as stirring things a bit, but I find this place unique on the web, but not in a good way, more a kind of dumbed down way...Bit like Playschool was in the 70`s.......All syrupy and nice, when all the time you knew the presenters were breeding with each other ferociously..... :wink: :lol:
Keri:
Well...... im watching my mouth after what happened the other day!
But i can't disagree with you really..... I usually stay in the background alot for fear of upsetting the applecart again again and again.

I have not commented on these type of threads before as I consider that everyone has there own idea of what is expectable and what is not.
I have a number of children and they are all old enough to be responsible for them selves but when they were young I tried to teach them right from wrong and set an example.
The bottom line is that this is a club.
All clubs have rules otherwise the whole structure of the club collapses.
The rules are made by the people that run the club (in this case the Admin and Moderators) for the benefit of the majority.
If you don't like the rules then find a club that has rules that you do like.
If you can't find a club that suits you then start one and make your own rules.
It is called a free country, this does not mean you can go to the supermarket and take what you want for free.
It mean you can go to any supermarket you like to buy your shopping.
If you don't like the way the club is run then have your say and leave.
Go out into the big wide world and live your life how you want to.

It is not a matter of like it or leave. Its a matter of having checks and ballences to avoid becoming extreme in one particular direction. Its a matter of being able to discuss matters in an open environment. Too much censorship is just as bad as not enough.

I have no problem with a filter. Just as i have no problem with not using swear words (although what a swear word is has some very wide definitions).
Some people (americans) WOULD take exception to 'Ass'. We in the UK might take exception to another american word for butt that is a female name. Where does it stop?
note 1
Allowing <edit> but not **** is just plain silly :shock: (I would have said ludicrus but I cant spell that)
Note 2
I don't like being spoken to like I am child or an idiot.
