To think that people shouldn't use the *F* word on Mumsnet

[Mulanmum]

No doubt a bunch of smart alecs are going to tell me to F* off but ...

Why do some MNetters feel the need to use obscene language on here? Are they too inarticulate to express themselves without foul language? I started a thread on another topic, moving along nicely then a prolific poster told us to "all f* off". Why do that on a forum that is set up primarily to be friendly and supportive?

Just leave the foul language off MumsNet.

LOL combustible ...
paranormal porn ...
Maybe I should have put this as my halloween name - that way i could be winning the votes by now

YABU

You can not tell people not to swear just because you don't like it. Personally, I like a good old swear every now and again.

I am well spoken and polite but every now again, particularly at work (clients can be fuckers ) a good swear is therapeutic.

My personal favourite swear words are in no particular order-

asshat
jizz
queef
cuntflaps
knobber
peener
minge

I love a good fuck.

Fuck, yanbu, i fucking hate swearing myself, its damn right fucking rude, immature and inarticulate, in fact, just the other fucking day, i was only fucking thinging to myself, how fucking thick people must be to have to use the word 'fuck' pardon me fucking french, its not like they must have gone to University or owt if they have to fucking swear, they must 'chavs' or summit. I never fucking swear.

Agree it's sentiments and not the language you have an issue with sometimes there is no better word than an F word to sum up ones thoughts ...

PMSL! Lmfao what a great thread LOL! at Ghostyfucker and C u next tuesday

Abb for LMFAO is Laugh my fucking arse off.

LMFAO VT I have only just seen my thread. My Mum speaks just like that fuck is every other word she is not a chav thou she is from the country side

Ghosty! Finally, someone noticed...

I think you should only swear if you would swear in the real life version of that situation (I never do, except to my DH).

I find it overly aggressive on here, its often applied where the person doesn't deserve to have it said to them.

I dont usually swear in rl, but i do on here, i like the way 'fuckoff' looks in text, i dont say it in rl because i doesnt sound right coming from someone a ladylike as me

I love the word Arse, i say that in rl

'Oh Arse, i just dropped my knickers'

fuck off

LMFAO VT.

I do swear but it just slips out plus I swear alot at work because the customers that call are fucking hard work so I have to put them on hold let it out and continue my calls

where did mulanmum fuck off to?

I nominate Filthymindedsixsixsixen for quote of the week.

Sliding cunt into a thread that complains about swearing and NODODY NOTICING until about 30 posts after surely has to be celebrated somehow?

Am also loving 'windfucker'. It is my new favorite word, am going to try to get it into conversation as often as possible.

Personally I favour 'wankstain'. It's my favourite driving word.

According to op mn is a 'forum that is set up primarily to be friendly and supportive?'

Noooooooooo that's the problem mn is a forum set up primarily to house a nest of judgy vipers.

Who like to swear if the fancy takes them.

Since having children I've given up smoking; getting drunk; laying in bed half the day; having sex wherever and whenever I want; and swearing in the DCs presence. I would definitely flounce if MNHQ replaced my prized expletives with random symbols.

What "f" word..... formula

Fuck me Jumpingbeans you made me LOL!

Pingpong - you put them on hold and 'let out'

I would put them on hold and 'go for a shit' or have lunch or something

opps sorry i mean pingping
