115857 2003-01-22 03:07:00 Ok... having been so kindly advised by Crozier that the "b" word (see here (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz))is not appropriate, is there a guide outling what language is appropriate or not when posting to PF1?

I always prided myself on not swearing here, and would've thought the "b" word was ok? Seems to me like a storm in a teacup if you ask me. Similar to the whole "bugger" advertisement a while back.

Thoughts and comments appreciated.

My sister used to have one of those... You'd rub its belly while saying your wish and it would come true while you were sleeping!!!!

I even tried it once, but I was a little disappointed :(

115861 2003-01-22 03:26:00 Yea and Bumbuddie seems to reckon crappy is a swear word!!!
I would consider using the lords name in vaine more of an offence than saying crappy.

115864 2003-01-22 03:31:00 There is filtering software running on the forum (see here (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz)). All the real bad stuff doesn't make it through. I guess the mods have the powers to add words if they became a problem, and they haven't as yet.

I personally don't see what it so offensive about the B word. Or the other B word. Or the B word from *that ad*. But thats just me, and I'm more than happy not to use them.

I've had One Telling Off (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz), and thats quite enough for me.

Yes I well remember LOL

I didn't think there was such a thing as swearing anymore. What one person thinks is acceptable, another will see red over.

When I was a teenager (I'm 50 now) you could be arrested and brought before a judge and fined for using the F-word. A friend of mine was arrested one Friday night for telling a policeman that he was a pig.

Times have changed. For the worse too
