| 115867 | 2003-01-22 06:08:00 | The thread you linked to was an appalling example of human behavior. I am part human myself and am currently feeling some shame that i might be tarred with the brush of poor behavior. Please, just to ensure that no other threads develop along the lines of this or any other offshoots, keep it in the original thread, and may those who wish to fight keep it going within the walls of that thread. .Clueless |

| 115869 | 2003-01-22 07:14:00 | > Ok... having been so kindly advised by Crozier that the "b" word is not appropriate, is there a guide outling what language is appropriate or not when posting to PF1? No, unfortunately there is no guide. Sometimes I wish there was but where do you draw the line? As someone said, what is totally acceptable to one is highly offensive to another. Personally, when I post here I use the kind of language that I would normally use in public or front of my mother, which is quite different to the language that I use in my home or talking in private to friends. That doesn't mean my language is normally foul - far from it, I won't tolerate continual foul language in my presence - but it is a bit more relaxed than what I would use here. I consider a good guideline to appropriate language to be how you would speak in front of a respected person, whether that person be a Church Minister, a principal or maybe even an admired member of the opposite sex whom you were trying to impress. Most people would hardly be saying "****", "prick", "bastard", etc as in the thread that Honeylaser posted and I don't think it is appropriate here either, whether written in full or asterisked as in f***.

| 115871 | 2003-01-22 07:47:00 | Swearing has lost it's point now. It used to be "cool" and you felt rather naughty. Now the F word is used so often that it's losing it's usefulness. We need new words now. | -=JM=- (16) | ||
| 115872 | 2003-01-22 07:54:00 | Yea, like "Cool" :-) | roofus (483) | ||

We need new words now. whatever :) Just don't swear. It's easy... and I find conversation a lot easier to follow, and a lot friendlier when there's no foul language involved. It's not needed, there are plenty of other words to use instead, so why don't we? It's quite easy. I've never sworn, and I never will... and it does annoy me when others do - it's an unnecessary waste of bandwidth :) Mike. |

| 115875 | 2003-01-22 10:02:00 | Just to answer your question Lohsing... After the "Generation X"'s comes the ".,"'s. Yes, pronounced "the dot-commas". Very original, isn't it? ;) And I'm being serious here too. It is the "dot-commas". I think I'm one of them. Who knows? |
