The use and abuse of swear words on MN

I think it's great that MN "allows" the usage of swear words without censoring as many other forums do. Swear words add emotion and colour to language imo so that side of it I have no problem with.

but, it does make me wonder when people use swear words to tell others to 'fuck off' or 'you're a twat'...........seems to me that its a misuse of this liberty.

now resist the temptation to reply with 'fuck off' etc and I'll be interested in others opinions on this matter.

yes i had noticed more and more swearing on threads and in thread titles. personally even though this is an adult site i find it innapropriate and no need for it at all.

now i think i am goign to get told to eff off for voicing my opinion.

oh and beofre someone says i don;t need to read it, i generally don;t, if it has swearign in the title.
