Am I being unreasonable

[thecatshed]

To expect to read messages that don't contain swear words? Today was the first time I've looked at Mumsnet and was very disappointed at the result, as I was expecting a sensible discussion on subjects relevant to parenting.

Adults sometimes swear. Sometimes it's 'needed' others it's not. Personally I am not A swearer but I'm not going to get upset by non aggressive swearing.

You need NetMums. We swear here

I love the swearing here, it makes everything more colourful

Netmums is perhaps more your cup of tea, swearing isn't allowed there.

If you don't like it don't read it.

Sensible discussion on AIBU?,

YABU HTH.

Agreed you need the other mums the one filled with giltter and Huns not us fuckers

These threads are where I expand my expletive vocabulary

Maybe netmums is more for you have you tried that site I don't think they are allowed to swear over there

very disappointed, yes head over to the other place, it might be more gentle.

Yes you are being incredibly unreasonable in not giving any clue in your thread title as to what your thread was about. That's the whole point of the title. If everybody in Am I Being Unreasonable just had Am I Being Unreasonable as a title, what would be the point of them?

Some adults like being able to use ALL the word in the English language. If you like censorship of expression go join those overly prissy freaks on Netmums.

A sensible discussion on subjects relevant to parenting?

And did you know "thecatshed" is the term for rimming a Labrador?

Get your smelling salts out next time.

We are a bunch of cunts who love a good swear word. Sorry about you.

However did you know that Tiggy?

Swearing is a valid part of language and by attempting to censor the speech of others, you are being a twathammer.

It was on Countdown the other day. Not allowed though as they had used the E twice.

Why wouldn't you expect swearing? Are mums not human? If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you piss us off, do we not cuss? You bet yo' ass we do. Get used to it or stay away from the internet, it's got naughty words in it.

The first time I looked an MN, I knew it was for me because the swearing is funny and refreshing and is how I talk in REL. It makes things more expressive and witty (when used well. not overdone). But there are loads of sites that are non-sweary and more fluffy, like netmums, so it's just a case of finding where you feel at home. I hope MN never changes in that way, because I feel at home here.

Annie don't say prick, it's a swear
