Actually...

A new poll

Considering that you (royal you, i.e. a lot of people) have already sufficiently angered Neil that he no longer wants to be a member of mud-club, and you blatently have no regard for me.

Why don't we just call it a day?  You don't like it here, and frankly I'm tired of spending my time being told I'm wrong and being insulted.

Sounds a bit like 'It is my ball' Don`t you think.
What is needed is some consulatation with the members and maybe what they would like...It is not rocket science and it is capable of being done here on line in this forum....The kid stuff is killing this forum really......

I'm trying to be reasonable, but not swearing is not really that much of a burden to be brutally honest is it?

I spend roughly six hours a day tending to my duties on mud-club and whilst we can indeed discuss it, I don't think we'll get anywhere, since you think one thing and I think another.

I've even gone to the extent of pointing out that there are places, so called "adult" conversations where swearing is tolerated, this isn't so much a "childlike thing" but simply a reflection of the world we live in.  You wouldn't swear in a children's playground so why is it appropriate in a thread which is likely to appeal to a child?

And since when is swearing a staple part of adult conversation anyhow ?

Anyhow, can we please drop the matter?

This thread should be locked.

Why? If folk haven't got the decency to respect the views of those who OWN this forum, then I'm sorry, but you forfiet your right to comment.

As has been said, this forum belongs to a few guys, not everyone else, but a few guys we know and could name here. It's their party - what they say goes. You have no rights, only priveldges. Some would do well to learn that.

As it goes for kids reading it.......

This is how i see it from my short life experience, i was brought up by my grandparents in a very very disciplined and strict old fashioned manner. In some ways some of my ideals are old fashioned stemmed from them. Anyway my mum would have me on a Saturday and would in the summer take me to the local pub to watch the bowls and so-on where she drank beer sometimes guinness :O i know how unlady like. Anyway in the pub were lots of men and women using profanity's and they didn't stop because young impressionable me was there.

So you might think being around people using foul language and people drinking copious amounts of alcohol id of turned out into a foul mouth alcoholic teen.

But that wasn't and isn't that case i don't drink and i never have done! odd glass of wine with meals which i was brought up with. I never ever was told off for using foul language because i never used it. I new from my upbringing the language was impolite and wrong and young little girls didn't use it, i knew id be in serious trouble if i did and that was good enough for me.

So i guess what im saying is its not the reading or hearing of the words its the ability to be able to tell the right from the wrong. If a child is well disciplined and well behaved they will understand that those words are not to be repeated.

The same with smoking, drinking and taking drugs really. But we can't virtually do that.

Its all discipline at the end of the day and being brought up with the self discipline and will power not to follow the crowd.

I don't think i started swearing in sentence until well into college and even then i used to say sorry after every time i swore which annoyed people more than me just saying the word and being done with it.

I and everyone else i think understand where mudclub are coming from being a family friendly forum and no-one has a problem with the filter or filtering out there language with **** or whatever. Its when it comes to don't use **** etc it seems to be going a little bit to far. If a child can tell what **** is im pretty damn sure they can select a few words to fill in expletive deleted with to. As it isn't what the child reads on the net or what places the child visits its the upbringing as to whether there going to go around Fing and Blinding at everyone they see!

If i had a child i wouldn't mind them hearing the odd amount of swearing and reading swear words on the net (supervised) after all they do live in the real world not on a fluffy cloud in the sky. Id just make sure they understood strongly the difference between reading and hearing and using!

The above is my personal opinion which im sure many will disagree with but hey ho

I just think instead of going bonkers on the swearing keep the rules you do have but concentrate on enforcing them for everyone and less on in what way someone is filtering out there foul language.
