Foul language on Mumsnet?

Having newly registered with Mumsnet I am dismayed, after perusing uTube and other forum sites where obscenities constantly pop up, to note use of foul language on this ?family site?.

I reported the swearing, specifically, where ?arseholes? was utilised as a reference to political parties.

The return I got from Mumsnet HQ was ??we don't think we
should be the arbiters of what people should find offensive and what
they shouldn't.? and ??We generally find it's better to let the boards self-
police??

May I engage you all in a quick survey?

Hands up all those that deem ?ARSEHOLES? as an offensive expression that should not be used on these boards??

Thank you?

Hands up those that deem ?ARSEHOLES? inoffensive??

Thanks?

Looks like the arseholes have it!

And I bet I could easily find one with a moustache!

"have-a-sham wedding"...
you talking of Miss Havisham....

You're too bloody clever for me. No wonder I can't find a man - SOB!

If it makes you feel any better, you'd have to look like this to be married to Tom Selleck

Hmm..actually, maybe you could base the design of your wedding dress around that lacy number

Holy Hell! I don't even fancy him that much - I was just casting around for someone vaguely attractive with a 'tache.

D'ya think Tom's wife may have had a little work done...?

Perhaps she'd just had a shock? Glanced in a mirror maybe - meow

now now ....

Try and replicate this look

Is that from my profile?

I want my bridesmaid dress to look like that

I might need a boob job first though..

shouldn't this go on chicken keepers forum...

(geddit.. foul language)

omg, my sides are splitting...

Just choked on my peanut butter sandwich...it's Ant n Dec with prosthetic faces isn't it?

Bloody hell - Ant and Dec have some serious moobs!

Those boobs are indeed magnificent Anyfucker...would they look VERY wrong with knickerbockers and a frilly shirt?

they would look fantastic shockers

oh, how I wish they were mine < wistful >

< looks at 34B's >

< cries >

You could always get a second sateeen cushion for, erm, woofing up your assets as necessary?

Assuming I'm still part of your wedding party now you're back on the market Belle?
I take it the stiff one did the job and yesterday's unfortunate business is forgotten...?

we will find some poor fucker lovely soul for belle to marry, don't you worry

I'm off to bed now to dream of my perfect man. Something like this.

The open leather/pvc shirt actually made me feel slightly unwell...

Shockers - you are an integral part of the proceedings. I always find a stiff one helpful.
