To ask other mums on MN not to use the F word?

I am a newbie. I find that F word is peppered in a lot of the threads. I used to swear a lot but I have stopped completely because I realize it's common, and makes a woman sound undignified. Is it too much, ladies, to ask you not to use F-ing thsi and F-ing that? Can't we adults discuss things without resorting to sailor language? Thank you.

Basic error there for newbie-you don't have to use the words yourself but if you don't like seeing them in posts then this isn't the site for you :-)

This is not going to end well..............................

ATruthUniversallyAcknowledged · 13/03/2012 08:56

Sorry OP, you sound nice, but this won't end well.

Iheartpasties · 13/03/2012 08:56

do you mean Fuck? :)

Sockspence · 13/03/2012 08:56

I'm not sure that anyone likes being told what they can and can't say. May I ask you to discuss things without sounding quite so insufferably smug? No?

crazynanna · 13/03/2012 08:57

So you were once common...but are not anymore? Confused

LentillyFart · 13/03/2012 08:57

If ever there was a thread absolutely guaranteed to break the world record for the number of 'fucks' within.....

Well done OP. Hahahahahahaha.

SuperSlattern · 13/03/2012 08:57

Why don't you try Nethuns. It's much more fluffier.

You couldn't tell someone to fuck the fuck off there Smile

ObviouslyOblivious · 13/03/2012 08:57

If I am a sailor, can I fucking swear like one?

redrubyshoes · 13/03/2012 08:58

I have never claimed to be an adult Shock take that back!

raspberrypi · 13/03/2012 08:58

It's not being smug. You wouldn't want your child to say that word, would you? If you would, you have an issue. It's okay to disagree with me, but please do it respectfully. Many mums here seriously sound childish if you can't even debate without being rude.

Was about to take time to sarcastically answer and then realised this is probably a namechange/windup thing right?

I am totally with you OP. I can't bear people mentioning fathers4justice either.

raspberrypi · 13/03/2012 08:59

No, Nixea, I am a newbie. I am not trying to wind you people up.
