To be appalled by the bad language used on this forum

[moomoo44]

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?

Yep. Cows cows on iPad.

Definitely not trying to sext about cows.

YADNBU OP.

They are a bunch of fucking foul mouthed cunts.

Cows cows here too!

well pag as excitable as i am, i am yet to come across anything on this website that has truly sent me over the edge. If i do i shall name change for the occassion - would hate for someone of your impeccable mental state to appear deranged in any way

I Need at "nut up or shut up"

OP Are you my mother?

Are you going to follow this up with "There's nothing worse than a woman drunk"?

What is so wrong about swearing on an internet forum for adults?

There is a hell of a lot worse happening on the web. Swearing comes way down on my list.

I LIKE swearing but I dont get to do it much due to be surrounded by kids at home and at work.

It helps me to swear. Its less damaging than drinking too much.

Its fine not to like swearing but its also fine to love it.

See! got through the whole fucking post without a single wanking swearword.

Mmmm, not being down with the smart device users I don't have auto-correct problems.

I did once send a load of letters to people in Lancashite though. Mind you I am from Yorkshire so it was probably more of a Freudian slip than a typo.

Op, yes. See ya.

spidersleg - Lancashite made me laugh

Yabu get a fucking life! Cows cows here too!!
Btw moomoo44 where did that name come from? Looks a bit familiar

A stick by any other name is still a stick Nice try though.

Still, we haven't had this thread for a few weeks - I love the way it just brings out our very best manners

fuckingstupidthingtocomplainabout

Moomoo44 - don't read www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/1312505-Was-I-being-unreasonable-to-laugh-at-dh-for-this this]] thread of mine - you will be shocked beyond belief by the rudery on there, and by my atrocious parenting!

I don't swear much here - although I PMSL at some of the sweary expressions. 'cuntychops' springs to mind!

I do however think I should make more of a conscious effort too after I accidently called DS (7) a 'fucking knob' for coming home from school in a shirt - in the pissing rain. He had left his coat and jumper at school.

fabby I like the mellower you!

AND WTF is it with people who have 'moo' in their name?

OP's name sounds familiar

TheFirstMrsDeVere - and I had you down as a multi tasker!! Have a with your FuckOff's.

Bugger - did the link wrong - second time lucky.

I find all this wankcuntery quite offensive.

Why don't you all fuck off and stop swearing, you foul mouthed slimy felchy prolapsed arses.

Burger Off!

Yum yum but let me write my [last] essay first

I can beat that Boo, I called my precious newborn babe a MonkeyFucker

It was said with a sigh and resigned expression. DS just looked and then ROFL. Actually should I be concerned all he said was 'whats a knob'

Personally I swear like a sailor most of the time...though I do watch myself around children. I'm loving the fact you're not censored here (I'm quite new myself).

People make far too much of swear words...they're just words. It's not what you say it's the way you say it.

Plus living with a DH who's so cockney it hurts kind of desensitises you to it.

Has the op gone now do you think??
