    Well as a scouser, I claim my justification card on the basis that swearing's in my genes

    But seriously - If needs be, I will comply in masking certain words if it's decreed necessary. But for that to happen, we in reality need to know which words are masked - The selection of words defined as foul language are different for everyone and what might be alright for one might not be for another.

    See, now most of you totally missed what I was saying

    I swear........I&#39;m a builder for farks sake

    What I disagree with is the use of the word in full, the word feck, fark, furk are all the same thing but they are done in a Monty Python sorta way.
    And if Feck is suitable for 7pm on tv but f*ck is not then that should say something to you.

    It&#39;s the way it comes across in text, the word Feck is light hearted and I use it a lot, but the real way of spelling it is agressive and not neccessary.

    I just think that it looks nasty in text.

    I am not saying I&#39;m a girly boy that gets all upset by it at all

    And what was option 4 before it was edited??

    I think I tend to use feck or feckin&#39;. I certainly use bar steward. I can&#39;t remember being overly profane, though I did get uppity when Lamsey&#39;s censor smiley was forced on us. I swore a lot then. Sort of ask me nice but don&#39;t censor me thing.

    But in the same spirit as fugley&#39;s last no-one is taking my arse from me. I need it too much. (Have to talk out of something don&#39;tcha know).

    PS are ice-hole and cork-sucker OK. What about fargin bastage.

    I remember your thread about different ways of saying things JPaul

    That is exactly what I am saying, for the most part swearing is done in jest so why not type it in the comedy form, when I see a bad word typed corectly I see anger and agression.

    THAT is my point

    I&#39;m not too keen on &#39;swearing for the sake of swearing&#39; - when people just swear in the middle of a sentence for no reason, like
    hey check this fucking site out man it is the shit
    - swearing can be used for emphasis to good effect, but people spoil that by using it like punctuation.

    So that&#39;s my ing opinion, you ers. If you don&#39;t ing like it, then all I&#39;m gonna say is:

    hey check this fucking site out man it is the shit
    lol I actually say stuff like that when im talking to my friends face to face, but for you guys I prefer to have some decency and to leave cuss words to a minimum...

    I myself don&#39;t mind the softer words such as tits and bollocks, but harsher words hurt...

    I mean whats the point in swearing, espeically if you don&#39;t know these people and all their gonna do is judge you and think your not a pleasant person to talk to

    ... so for the benefit of the board, people should just keep the cussing down, then we wouldn&#39;t have to worry about editing as we would type in a cuss free enviroment

    I think the poll should include

    "Swearing is ok in comedy form"

    And I knew you lot would use this thread as a way of swearing
    Bunch of bloody kids you are

    Why don&#39;t you all act like adults like I do
