to put cunt in the thread title?

[DanceInTheDark]

Or does it need to be in caps?

Or surrounded by * * * *S

(fred about a fred)

or posted by me

Yes - why would you want to?

oh

that was supposed to say "surrounded by SNOT"

Of course you are, I am off to tell on you ner ner ner ner

I think it's pathetic tbh, really shows how low the poster is. Y'know the "C" word is still highly offensive to many people and to put it in a thread is - offensive.

pets

It's my favourite swear word, please use it with abandon.

lol at daftpunk feigning interest in what constitutes "offensive" to most MNers

you'll be revising 99% of your "views" then, following this epiphany

every cloud

Hmm, I usually find the people who use this word are total chavs, no style, no class. just a big mouth.

And to actually take the time to type it out??

Even worse.

To be fair it is a horrid word and I was moaned at years ago when I first joined for using a mild swear word in a thread title as it was frowned upon

But then again freedom of speech and all... or is that selective to who is most popular? :o

'Hide this thread button' springs to mind.
I thoughthe 'c' word was cancer.
MN front page says it is.
Can't we just say cunt.
RECLAIM THE WORD

see, I feel the same way about "chav"

same number of letters too

does it take you a while to type "chav", dp? Bless

Well I'd rather see the word cunt used in a way not aimed at a particular person, than some of the bigoted vitriol you come out with, DP.

Pot - Kettle, is all I can say.

Oh and OP YABVVVVVU. It should be cuntING

I rarely swear on MN or in RL. The furthest I've ever gone is "fuck"..... And not often,

Well I like swearing,it's big and it's clever.

I don't object to swearing, except when it is aimed at a particular person. Swear words can add to the richness of the English language when used in the right context.
And 'chav' is very declassé.

I like the freedom of speech element to MNHQ.

DP you know full well that what you post sometimes really offends people - however people accept that you are here and those are your views. You are not banned from voicing your opinions in discussions.

Likewise the same courtesy should be extended to sqwearing.

Look, I just hate the word ok. I'd never report anyone for using it, I'd never get overly concerned about it, I just don't think it's appropriate for use in thread titles.

I don't like AnyFuckers name, I think that's inappropriate, but I've never complained to MNHQ about it. I told her to her face.

And I think she told me to naff off. Which is fair enough.

Depends - if it seems like the OP has just reached the end of his/her tether and is in desperate need of a vent I don't mind so much. It bothers me more if it seems like the OP is just using it for shock value to make more people pay attention to their post.

It's a pretty ugly word though.

I think you just couldn't resist the opportunity to have a little pop, could you dp?

but if it leads to you moderating your own posts for offensive material, then everyone's a winner

So does that mean it's fine to swear in titles then?

OP YANBU, being Glasweigan I have to say I never really stop swearing when there are no children around, somehow my Tourettes seems to clear up during the day and then comes out with avengance at night :o

DP, you causing trouble again? How dare you speak

Oh, I like cunt. I'm not chavvy, just educated enough to know and appreciate the etymology of the word. It's nice.

I don't mind others swearing much TBH. It has its place. Not keen when it is every other word - heard enough of that in the prison where I worked to put me off for a lifetime. It just sounds common when used with abondon IMO. But hey - each to theri own. I chose not to swear, but again - my choice.

However I don't particulalry like swearing in thread titles as I know many people leave MN on their computer - myself included - and have chldren capable of reading. I don't leave
