I'm not going to take it easy on you if you don't even try to act appropriately. You're a tool.

Not me. Message Boards should be civil, and welcoming to all. Coarse language and/or frequent word censors are not welcoming...

Apparently not. Very Happy

And no, we're not at all all mature intelligent adults; there's a wide variety of age groups.

Yet censorship is just as immature as excessive profanity.

Profanity has its place, which is why on occasion I bypass the filter so that I can fully express my thoughts.

Just because it can be worse doesn't mean you aren't excessive. You definitely curse excessively.

Ugh. When it comes to what is socially acceptable, the popular opinion is always right. If (almost) everyone in our culture wants to decide that it is ok to curse as often as you do, it will be ok. But unless they do (and therefore as long as they say it is wrong) it won't be.

Although you did bring up an interesting point about geographically variable culture (and therefore variable social norms) I will point out that this is "family friendly" internet zone, not Philly or anywhere else, so what is acceptable here once again has to be defined by us. So basically, if you don't act like everyone else here, you will be the abnormal one.

Also, I always pictured you being from Alaska for some reason. I think it originated from that whole thing about truck drivers making more money... But why do I associate truck drivers with Alaska?
