1. There is a fuckload of fine literature larded with swearing--that is a red herring.
2. Conflating swearing with racist things like dropping the N word is bullshit--quit trying to hid behind that. If you go over to FB, people curse all over the place, without consequence--so even Zuckerberg & Co., who LOVE to censor, know the score on the real world. Drop the N word, at least in a plainly insulting manner, and you will go on vacation. It is treated as a fighting words exception, basically.
Language. Always a tough subject

It just censor 1 word, so what ? It is not the word that counts, but the spirit behind the use of this word.NorincoKid wrote: ↑Wed Dec 05, 2018 9:21 am Wasn't there a profanity filter before the forum wen't down?

Obviously we used to have a lot more LISTED members before the crash--but some of those were dead, and many others might as well have been. I mean people who had not participated since the Bush administration were still listed. I doubt the active membership is much different now than a year ago--from 10 years ago, pre-FB and other social media, sure.

It was my understanding from the OP that the "women and children" were being offended by curse words, not the spirit behind them.Legio wrote: ↑Thu Dec 06, 2018 10:56 amI personally hate the filters.

Original whiner T......3, appears to be a guy named Paul who used to post on a fishing website( Hasn't posted there for years though). He seemed like a calm, normal guy on there, but did mention his grand-kids and how that site needed to get their membership up etc., like he does on here. Also looks like he never mentioned all the military BS that he continuously brings up on here and he didn't have any of the crazy rants that he has here. He also used the occasional cuss word himself. It now has me wondering what has happened to this guy during the past three years to make him like he is now? Is he a troll, full of crap, or have head problems...
the knee replacement thread shows obvious signs

That's like Mr Rogers "Welcome to the neighborhood! Will you be my friend?" turning into Randy "Macho Man" Savage.
