Some people don't seem to understand that this is an internet forum, and as such is as far from the real world as you can effectively get. If you take it so seriously, then you need to get a hobby, and occupy your mind with something substantial.
Then why do you complain at the odd use of bad language, if, as you say, you are not taking it seriously?
Course I have - they died out with all the others 65 million years ago.
It is not whether the forum is serious or not, in this instance, it is about your respect for others and how you address them when it comes to the use of foul language. The English Language, the most expressive in the world, has words for every kind of need or emotion. There are literally tens of thousands of adjectives for every need and nuance of meaning; and it speaks volumes to the sparsity of peoples' vocabularies if they cannot express themselves without expletives. Ever heard of a thesaurus?
I doubt I am alone in getting extremely fed up with the very small handful of 'Christian' posters on this forum, and one in particular, who keep slagging off non believers and pagans in a very unpleasant fashion. Yet if anyone retaliates in kind they scream, whinge and throw a temper tantrum! They seem totally unable to see that their behaviour is not only very hypocritical, it sullies the faith they claim to love.If a faith doesn't make you a better person there is no point in it, in my opinion.
Imagine how nasty these people would be if they were not Christians.
It is indeed true (obvious, actually) that a vocabulary of x words + swearing is going to be larger than x - swearing. That's simple maths, not linguistics.
'Standards' is just your excuse for prudery.
And of course, spurious. You can add as many swear words as you like to your vocabulary ( in your case, taking it into the tens!), but it still doesn't by any stretch, make it acceptable to anybody with standards - you may need to look that last word up!
Nope - I think old Shaky delivers some of the best fucking prose we ever see posted in this Forum!
Any excuse to (try) and justify bad manners, and unnecessary bad language. It must be horrendous in your family when you get into some discussion or other. And I dread to think what your games of scrabble are like!
Interesting in both cases
Not really, although under 12s know all the interesting words anyway
They would have learned the words from the likes of you anyway.
Only if they were eavesdropping

Fuck! If you rule out the use of swear words you're limiting your vocabulary. I would have thought that was fucking obvious.
Whilst I am not keen on swear words, particularly the 'f' word, what bugs me much more is the hypocrisy displayed by some posters who are blinded by the huge beams in their own eyes when criticising others.!
