Foul language on here.

[Lemondrizzle4A]

AIBU to expect people to use less foul language on here. I’m put off by people using c , f.
Im not a prude and believe me there is many a time I’ve used the F word in conversations but wouldn’t dream of using it on here and never the c word.
Edited as deleted the asterisks - obviously doesn’t like them.

AIBU to expect people to use less foul language on here

Fuck yes.

I agree. Not being able to articulate an argument and resorting to swearing diminishes the point being made in my view.

Too many foul-mouthed cunts on here, that's for sure.
Most unladylike

Surely you know how this thread is going to go?

May I be the first to tell you to piss up a rope fuckstick!

Abso-fucking-lutely.

Cunting cockwombles, the lot of them.

Hun...

Brilliant. As usual first reply nails it 🤣

Can't fucking stand bad language

ODFOD

It's called venting. We are grownups who have to hold it all in around family. A good curse helps to let it all out.

Netmums might suit you better.

To all of you swearing on this thread I rest my case.

🍿🍿🍿

Don’t be silly.

Nothing wrong with a judicious cunt or fuck.

I’ll tell you what annoys me - is when people put asterisks in profanities. Like we’re too delicate to cope with them.

Oh do fuck off dear. Plus I wouldn't dream of calling anyone a cunt on here. That's reserved for my closest friends and really bad drivers!

How is an argument diminished just because someone uses a swear word as an intensifier?

This comes up periodically
Yanbu to not like it
Yabu to expect others to change their language to suit you ("AIBU to expect people to use less foul language on here.")

With the best will in the world, nobody is really going to care whether a stranger is going to be put off reading what they've written on the Internet because they dont like swearing.

Genuinely - why? I could understand if you didn't use it at all, but why so against using it here if you do use it conversationally?

It's most unbecoming, especially on a site aimed mainly at ladies.

The only way we should be seeing a cunt is after removing several layers of petticoats.

It's fucking disgusting.

You can’t ’expect’ other people to modify their language to suit you. And if you say ‘fuck’ in conversation in person, you’re a hypocrite to complain about people using it writing.

It's what makes mumsnet mumsnet. It's not mandatory to be here.

What the fuck?

First it's suing a bookshop for selling a graphic novel with a bare bum in it, now it's No Swearing Please.

Did Netmums shut down or something? What are these delicate flowers doing among the Vipers Of Mumsnet; are they lost?

I love a creative bit of cussing. Cockwomble was one of my favourites from here.

Mumsnet has always been sweary. Netmums is the place to go if it offends your sensibilities —>

I think it depends on the subject matter. Discussing whether Portugal or Spain is a better summer holiday and swearing like a sailor is a bit weird and unnecessary.

Discussing what a nasty sack of shit Nigel Farage is and I think fucking and cunt are perfectly acceptable words to use.
