Should Mumsnet forum users be allowed to Swear!

[cakelover14]

No offence I enjoy reading the discussions on this board but why do mums really feel the need to swear in their posts! What kind of example are we setting as mums if we can't control the use of our tongues and use language that is obscene.

Mumsnet - why is it not your policy to remove swear words from posts? saying we are all adults doesn't excuse the use of foul language! I am sure I cannot be the only mumsnet user who doesn't want to read swear words every five seconds. It makes me close a thread and stop reading what otherwise could be an interesting read.

All I can say is no wonder every time I go the playground with my kids I hear young children using foul language when parents can't even control their tongues anymore! Unfortunately I agree the world is full of people who swear but as mums should we not take the lead in setting a good example for the next generation???

Cakelover I wonder what you make of the sex board? I mean, all sorts of filth is discussed on there, some of it would make your eyes bleed! If swearing offends your sensibilities I wonder what you make of, say, anal fisting?

Not knowing the difference between being and been is more upsetting to read than an entire car park full of cuntbadgers IMO

Fucking hilarious

Oh cake. I am sad for you.

Oh, wanky Bounty?

Where you get censored for such awful words as carseat and Scunthorpe?

seriously OP, what did you expect?

Swearing is very useful, I have no problem with it.

The OP's peculiar obsession with 'mums', however...

This is a forum for adults. I have no problem with swearing. I don't swear in front of my child or at work. It's not about standards or self control. Just that swearing is a natural part of interaction for many adults.

Fuck that shit!

I am very articulate. I also fucking love swearing.

Is there somewhere I can go and bitch myself into a froth about this?

What a shame that none of you seem to be able to construct a reply without swearing and been offensive

Cause I'm a little cunt who loves talking to other little fucking cunts

ABloody let's start a new thread that will combine swearing and basic literacy standards

Also, you may want to relocate one of the two unnecessary question marks from the end of your post to the end of your title. HTH

I agree, it's a fucking disgrace. What a bunch of foul mouthed bastards they've got on here.

You all ought to be fucking ashamed of yourselves.

Now there's a concept that warms my fucking cockles fast

Yes. That was a gratuitous 'fucking' there. Just because - you know - I can!

What a shame that none of you seem to be able to construct a reply without swearing and been offensive.

I can reply without swea.....fucknuggetyshittinghellborisjohnstonwanktits. Oh dear, excuse me, I obviously have a problem .

Did you join just to tell us where we're going wrong cake ?

Bit fucking rude isn't it?

Who made you the swear police?

Trills is it the exclamation mark? The exclamation mark is really annoying me.

Oh is it that time of year again?
Oh course we fucking shouldn't, it's fucking discusting.

Ha ha ha ha ha! Who the hell are you to tell me not to swear!? Anyone who tries to act like my mother can piss right off! Even she doesn't tell her adult daughter how to speak.

I hear Nethuns their swear words. If you're too sensitive maybe bye bye over to there?

I love a good swear, me. I think it's because I have to be so bloody professional with clients.

And because I have a pfb of a ds I can't even swear when I stand on an upside down plug then crack my shin on a bed frame.

This board in particular is free with the swearing.

And I think because people here try (in the main) to avoid disablist and racist insults which abound on the real world, we go scatalogical anatomical and Anglo saxons instead.

Bless you for a Saturday night board livening up though

OP... What's your favourite swear word?
