Keeping the off-topic thread going.......
What exactly are you going to ban ?
a) Swear words such as damn and other curses
b) Slang such as the 'F' word
c) Words with more than one meaning other than the acceptable eg bitch
d) Insulting/libellous eg Liar
e) Ass, as pertaining to the end of the alimentary canal
f) Or any word you don't like the sound of
Maybe we ought to find some foreign words...like Dorfdumkopf (spelling ?) , schweinhund etc... ?
When I joined this forum I was a little bit annoyed at the frequent use of the word ' ass ', but got used to it. The word is used over here in the context of ' silly ass ' which likens the person to the donkey...ie foolish.
Personally, the words I take great exception to are the 'F' word, Liar and bitch referring to a female human.
On the whole, I find this forum quite mild as to the everyday language witnessed in Public Houses when men get talking together.
You moderators certainly have your jobs cut out, but for goodness sake don't let this forum become one for namby-pambies or the Politically correct factions.
