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???

Welcome to the fucking school holidays.

Surely it has to be cuntweasel now paul?

Now I put stars between Nethuns and their. Isn't it interesting MN won't let you star out swear words yourself?

Ah gleam the good old 4, you played it well

I don't swear in RL or on here, but it really doesn't bother me. My friend swears all the time , she does it really well TBF.

if you don't like the swearing don't join in on the parenting website that even the owners describe as 'the one with the swearing'.

YANBU OP, they're a shower of fucking foul mouthed, cunts here. You can't even read an innocent thread about anal sex without "bumming" this and "clitoris" that and "big hairy cock" the other. And look at what they've done to your lovely thread.

Twat monkeys the lot of them.

Don't mind the swearing, unless it's in an overly aggressive way directed at a poster. I don't mind reading that someone is fucking angry or are having a shitty day, but I don't think it's ever necessary to call someone any noun prefixed by "fucking". And MN agree with me as those sorts of abusive posts are deleted.

Much better than on netmums where you can't say anything and everything is censored - they treat you like kids. although to be fair most of their posters are kids

OP, unclench. You'll feel so much better for it.

Just for you OP

HTH

Fuckbustard. Clungemonkey. Spaffjuggling cuntbuffalo.

Has your head exploded yet, OP?

Hello OP
A fine Sat night to you

Although we understand where you're coming from, we tend not to delete posts simply on the grounds of bad language.

Mumsnet Talk exists for parents to swap advice about all manner of things and it would be very difficult to intervene every time someone was offended as we simply wouldn't know where to draw the line.

Generally speaking, we don't mind the odd swear word or two, provided they're not directed at other Mumsnetters (as that would be considered a personal attack). That said, we would remove any posts that seriously cross the line, so please (and this goes to the whole bloody lot of you) do report any of these you see.

Hope this clears this up
Thanks as ever

Welcome to mumsnet. Would you walk into an acquaintance's home and start slagging off the way they cook their dinner? Why join our forum and complain about the way we do things, eh?!

We've had a few of these threads lately. Boss old mares!

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

Sorry hun.

Your post has really made me think. From now on I'm going to set a better example to children everywhere by not swearing on Mumsnet. After all, as A Mum it's my duty xxxx

💫💫⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟🌟🌟🌟👑🎀🎀🎉🎉💖💖 8 minutes since my last swear 💖💖🎉🎉🎀🎀👑🌟🌟🌟🌟⭐️⭐️⭐️💫💫

How refreshing, a new & novel thread!

😂😂😂😂😂

What fucks me off much more are the posters who put twee little replacements in swear words. 'Oh sh!t'. 'F**k'. Either swear or don't, but don't be a cuntymccuntchops and do shit like that.

We love so you very much Olivia.

Swearing is good for you. Studies show it reduces pain.

"Wankpuffin"

ONLY JOKING!!

Get tae fook.

And it's 'being.'

💫💫⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟🌟🌟🌟🎀🎀🎉💖 mummy to loads of cheeky fuckers and DW of a big dicked man 💖🎉🎀🎀🌟🌟🌟🌟⭐️⭐️⭐️💫💫

and this goes to the whole bloody lot of you

Oh Olivia. You are a star ⭐️

It's my post and I'll swear if I want to, fucking swear if I want to,
You would swear too if it happened to you!

Oh bugger off, there are far more important things in the world to get pissed off about, like the cunt that told my disabled dd to run for the bus today.
Your snobbery is boring and it's been proven that those who swear tend toward a larger vocabulary and IQ.
