Ah Arvon. Do a search on the word in question in the BGII archive, and you will see just how much we used to swear at IW, when there were only a few of us. Rikard could hardly write a post in those days without peppering it with 'f' words, and the rest of us were almost as bad.

In a way I think it's a shame that the relaxed atmosphere we used to have about swearing is long gone, but this is Ziroc's board and whatever he says goes. I'll refrain from using it - I don't agree that it is 'low-brow' or unintelligent to swear and have personally heard royalty and academics alike having a good cuss should anyone doubt that view - but by the same token I wouldn't want any of our younger members to be prevented by their parents from coming here.

But that word has already violated my fragile little mind!

I dont know which culprits have been using the F word but they should be severely scolded. I would never stoop to such language!

i know i haven't used that particular word here, and id o try to keep it down when using others. id on;t spell them out i do the ***'s or something just because i want to convey that the word is in my mind but id on;t really want to use it here...silly me...i will find a better way. as far as the topic word of this thread i try to only use that when driving!!!

I don't think he meant that using it once or twice in posts makes one low-brow, Epona. I think what he means is that when everyone uses it and the place is peppered with it, it doesn't look like we have any self-control, ie: the place looks a bit 'run down', I guess is how I'd describe it. It's not as if none of us ever USE the words in daily life, but a concentration in threads doesn't look that good to the rest of the world, theydon't KNOW that we're all pretty well educated, friendly, and downright cool

as opposed to flame-baiters etc like you'd find in other places where the use of 'bad' language is the norm rather than a means of expressing a strong emotion now and then.

Anyway, from what I've seen I think it boils down to Z not wanting it used mainly because we have so many minors about, not so much because he doesn't think we use it irl or should use it at all.
