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?

skip off to Netmums then.

well in the nicest possible way, this forum ain't for you then

And fwiw, I don't accept fb friend requests from children either, because I swear on the internet. I don't swear in rl (unless out with adults) but I'm a grown up using a forum aimed at grown ups.

But why? It really annoys me when people say "what sort of an example is this to set to children" as though once you become a parent you have to be a Mother at all times, even when your DC are asleep, and can never swear / be rude again.

OOh netmums

yes indeedy

Do you know I found out today there is a video of me dancing on there

That make me pmsl really as I am one of the longest serving posters here

Fuckity fuckity cunty arse fuck.

Bollocks.

God no, even the DDs aren't on my FB.

Ssssh Rhinestone. It's waaay past your bedtime.

I also swear in RL.

But everlong, you can use them in rl and still not call your children cunts or twats. Or even use them in front of your children.

Ive a 23 and 18 year old that are more mature than me, puft, I'm never getting old.

Wankrot, that has a nice ring to it.

chhesesarnie here, video on link, twenties float, i am in the blue frock on front.

And yes more works now

What a pile of utter twatwankery. What the actual jeff is going on here at the moment ? Have we been invaded by the National Arsebollocks Association?
Every other thread is a newbie with some spleen to vent and it's all shitstirring fucketybollocks!

I have a 9 year old that can do a cartwheel without using her hands.

Oh Lord Peachy I saw that

I do so agree with you OP. It really is totally fucking beyond the cunting pale to pepper one's conversations and writings with unnecessary expletives.

O, hang on...I've just remembered we're not conversing via nethuns so please disregard the above.

On this site the usual rule of etiquette applies: 'if you don't like it, fuck off to the far side of fuck - and then fuck off some more'.

I find that the majority of swearing on mn happens on these sort of threads. In fact, I can't remember when i last saw someone being called a cunt in anger.

what, saw my video?

me

14 and 18 year old. Also far more mature than me.
