To be appalled by the bad language used on this forum

I know I will probably be shot down as I am a newbie on here but I recently found this site whilst searching for something and found the AIBU threads very interesting. I find it intriguing how different people react to the same situation and it really makes you realise that we are not all the same, and the world is better for it.

What I have found so appalling though is the frequent use of swearing throughout these posts. I have been truly shocked by this as it is a forum used mainly by parents. Is this the example to set children?

There is something about swearing in writing which makes it so much worse than in conversation, although that is not nice either. It seems so much more deliberate in writing.

When did it become acceptable to use such language unnecessarily and excessively just for effect?

Oh I don't know, it's quite good fun, poking the noobs.

Op why are you still here then,there has been more swearing on this thread than in a whole day on mn so why are you still here.
I swear in rl too,i also drink,shag,smoke and pay bills by going to work,my children dont do any of those either,funnily enough Grin

MittzyTheVixen · 06/10/2011 21:00

Really laughing out loud Grin
And FabbyChic... you is well funny!

I love these threads, think the swearing makes it all the more colourful, though I am not a prolific swearer...

Also agree mostly this is actually an escape from children not to set an example to them Hmm

So sorry OP YABU. It is fine that you think it is not for you, but I would defend the right of every MNer to swear... if they so choose.

Do you Rhinestone? wow, get thee to the feminist section Wink

I go to bed when DH ays I may

CupOfBrownJoy · 06/10/2011 21:01

but some people ARE cunts though, so what else are you supposed to call them?

For example, on the thread about the 5 yr old with sn who had a party, and all the other parents of the children in the class didn't let their DC attend...

They are CUNTS. Total CUNTS.

And I swear a lot in rl too, but I try not to in front of children and I've only said shit in the classroom once

LissieLovettsDeliciousPies · 06/10/2011 21:03

My 6 year old is more mature than me he did make me sit on the naughty step once for saying shit when I burnt myself on the oven.
