Thanks for the quick action. I typed the "damn shame" post before I sent the e-mail. Anyway, I'm glad to be able to say cocker, cocker, cocker, cocker, codker, all day long. Most especially, Angie my Cocker Spaniel appreciates it. She was a little upset when her description was messed up.

Well, damn isn't bad at all. Jeesh!!!! Don't ban damn. It's so common a word now days. Sometimes ya just got to say it. Hell, I judge the pain of various injuries by the number of damns. Cut finger - damn. Broken arm - damn, damn, damn. Good grief!!! I just said Hell. Please keep damn and Hell. No way they offend anyone in the context I'd use them. ROF ROF

You said "pisses" too SJ!
I agree with USN_ED when he asked for the sensor to lighten up a bit!!

Language and the use thereof is one of the many gifts our creator gave us!! I take great pride in being able to give a real vision to the written word and never never mean to offend the dainty nit picker!!

[Greg]

Ed,

Some wouldn't say damn, hell, and other swear words around their grand kids, wouldn't want their grand kids saying them, wouldn't want their friends or grand kid's friends saying them around their wife and in their home. We are in someone else's home here. We are guests and there are guests around the world visiting here. I don't think it's too much to ask to keep one's swearing outside this house.

I think that's the spirit behind the rules.

Greg -

You may be right to a point but if you think we live in a world free of the words damn and hell, you're not living in the real world. I do not use those words on a regular basis but sometimes I do. Sorry if that offends you and believe me I will not/would not use those words in a willy-nilly fashion.

What offends ME are the three threads you have Locked in the "Site Questions" section of the Forum. The information in two of those threads (picture posting and thumbnail posting) would be more appropriate in the computer section. Yep, I know you are the Moderator but I don't think that should give you the leeway to bend the posting rules to your liking.

I guess in a way I just lectured you and you probably don't like it and I don't blame you but I don't like being lectured as you lectured me in your post above either.

Thanks for listening and I hope we can get along for the rest of the time we are in the Forum together. It is not my intent to make you angry or mad but I couldn't let your post go un-answered.

To keep this on topic, this is a picture of an un-known "Red Neck" dog.

Hey all, especially SJ!!

As the pendulum swings so to speak this has taken on an absurdity all of it's own!!

In any forum on any site on any board in any country, I have never ever used profanity per say!
We for the most part are educated participants and resent the heavy handed way in which we are rebuked ( I was warned for using a common word not long ago) for using language that is used by every common man, woman and child on the planet!!
I sometimes portray a story or a point of view with some common language and color for interest that most, if not all consider to be explanatory not expletive !!

Intent of the word being used should be the determining factor not the mere existence of them!!!!!!

Open for rebuttal !!

[Greg]

Ed,

My post was not a lecture as much as it was an example of the spirit of the rule to try to keep the language on the forum on a family level. It was not specifically addressed to you. I'm sorry, I do not feel I have been lectured by your post and do not feel any anger. You stated your opinion, and that's fine.

With regards to the Resizing and the Posting Thumbnail Stickies, I wrote and posted them in answer to questions members have asked on how to do things within the forum. The Site Questions forum is where I answer those types of questions, and try to help members use the features of the forum.

I hope you enjoy your time here and thanks for posting.

p***y
{c**k}
b***h




6C the fawn chows always reminded me of lions... great looking dogs!!

[Archdean]

Boy that * is a really bad guy , he shows up in all of those words and to be honest I had to look more than once just to decipher the word!! Just shows how guttural I am!!!

To be Honest all but two of them in any context ARE vulgar and have no place being posted publicly for any reason!!!

[chipmaker]

As vulgar as some of those words are you hear them more and more every day in public and on TV......so they are getting to be mainstream acceptable so it seems..........I remember getting soap in my mouth and the dirty word I may have used as a kid washed out by my mother........today momma gives the kid a joint or a bottle of beer and $20.00 and told to go to the mall and think about why they are being punished for using those words.

[Durwood]

Just my opinion , but how about a "warning shot" from a moderator before they decide to close a thread? Then maybe we can all get it together and keep that thread from being closed. It would also allow some time for the moderator to confer with other mods about it if they have any doubts.

:fing20: Good Grief!!!!! Look what I started only because I wanted to post a picture of my "Cocker Spaniel" Angie.

I hope you guys haven't gotten the idea that all I want to do is cuss and swear in my threads. That is not the case!!! It's just that sometimes I feel it necessary to put just a smidgen of emphasis on a topic when making a point.

Greg -

Thanks for taking my post to you as a friendly post. As I said, my intention was not to be disrespectful or jerk you around. As to my point of you locking some threads, I think it sort of makes some of us (maybe just me) feel left out as we feel we can contribute to the subject of the thread too. Please unserstand that I understand perfectly why you would lock a thread if you were posting rules, or other posts that did not require or could not be followed up.

With so many words from so many languages now in common use in English, I wuold hope that we can find alternatives to the short list of prohibited words. I recently was talking to a Texan customer who could not find his "Dad gummed" file on his desk. First time I actually heard that phrase used by someone other than Gabby Hayes in a movie, but I still understood exactly what he ment.

[drbailey]

bontai joe ,
Dadburn means the same thing as DadGum , I don`t hear dadgum much but Dadburn ,, several times dailey. :fing20:

[Steve (Magnolia, TX)]

I find myself, often, using Dad gum, Dad burn and Dad blamed, pretty often (depending on company, of course). I've, um, er, been known to use the "coarser" versions, too, though... :bonk:

[steve42]

I feel I have done very well cleaning up my act (and my language) in the years since I got out of college. Now that I work for the USAF, I hear a great deal more profanity than I care to in day-to-day conversation. I'm not so much a prude as I am a purist... I believe in using the subtleties of the English language to my full advantage.

I've always felt that it shows more intelligence to voice your frustrations and anger at someone(thing) with rated-G words than the rated-R variety. I promise you, I can dress someone down without a single swear word and they still know they've been dressed down.

I had a boss one time who would cuss you out in person or via e-mail with equal passion. I told him one day (as I was moving on to greener pastures) that I appreciated the opportunity that I had while I was there, but that I lost a good deal of respect for him the first time I heard him use that language and a great deal more when I saw that he actually took the time to type those same words out while composing an e-mail to his employees.

It didn't help any that he misspelled some of them :-)

[Argee]

I am not a prude nor a purist but I agree that profanities are a little overused in our society as a whole. Used to be that kind of talk was called "shop talk" and wasn't used at home. I know some young couples nowadays where the f-word is as common as "the" and "and"...It personally doesn't bother me when I hear it occaisonally and I must admit I use it occaisonally. But when it's overused, I lose total respect for the person.
