Am I being unreasonable to be put off by the amount of swearing on Mumsnet?

I said Cunt the other day, for the first time in my nearly 40 years. Twas most liberating, so for that, OP, YABU

DonkeyOaty · 04/04/2016 14:01

Oh. Oops. In answer to one trick pony OP: you might not like it, and it's okay to not like it.

Handing someone a biscuit as an insult is limp.

PaulAnkaTheDog · 04/04/2016 14:09

I think the op has collapsed at the shock of all these profanities.

PaulAnkaTheDog · 04/04/2016 14:10

But I wanted a biscuit...

IlikePercyPig · 04/04/2016 14:11

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fucketty, fuck, fuck.

Is craddle swearing? It sounds filthy.

catsinthecraddle · 04/04/2016 14:13

Handing someone a biscuit as an insult is limp.

Is that for me? I don't really feel the need to insult complete strangers on the internet, do you?

PaulAnkaTheDog · 04/04/2016 14:14

Can I have another? Perhaps your second Biscuit?

curren · 04/04/2016 14:15

You might like the bounty message boards (if it's still going).

If you swear there is automatically deleted and they also steal you punctuation. So it makes no sense at all. Unusual punishment but seems to work.

I fucking love being able to swear on Mn

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 04/04/2016 14:17

I rarely tell anyone to fuck off [unless they're an obvious nasty twat] but the use of swearing doesn't bother me anyway.

Yes the biscuit is a limp insult, that's to you and I think the same whenever I see anyone post it.

It's not even a decent bloody biscuit!

ridingabike · 04/04/2016 14:19

Hi OP, no you are not being unreasonable at all.

Adults swearing when someone's cut them up in the car, and it just slips out.or when you've dropped something on your toe is one thing. Specifically typing something and not having the wit to change it before you press "submit" is offensive, childish and shows you've lost the argument.

Sunnybitch · 04/04/2016 14:21

You can't actually type it Ark coz it comes out in (seriously an adult chat forum and you cant swear ffs) if you put @$$ and it is spotted by the mods you will get a pm off them to say you have bypassed the swear filter and you have been warned...

It's pathetic!

PaulAnkaTheDog · 04/04/2016 14:22

What if there's no argument? What's your opinion then? Like if I just wanted to add fuck to this sentence for the sake of it.

Sunnybitch · 04/04/2016 14:23

I've always thought it looked more like a slice of pineapple myself Confused
