Well, I don't really feel like I need to justify myself to you, but I suppose I might as well do you the courtesy, just to prove a point.

So, you put me on watch now?

Hmm, i understand how this forum works now.

I seriously doubt that.

Spanky89 说:
To my opinion that is a fail to put me on "watch" i havent actually broken any rule. But because i simply wish to make less abusive language in the forum you put me on watch?

There is a rule against trolling/flamebaiting.

Spanky89 说:
Haha

ooh yeah i belong to the few previliaged ones with invites + extra previliage to be able to be the only privat person who might be able to host a beta server.

All other beta servers are run by talesworld. I am waiting for finnal discussion about me hosting server.... really exited i am!

Start abusing me now haha

lalala bring the cussing on :grin: :twisted:

If that's not a prime example, I don't know what is.

Spanky89 说:
Seriously you fail =)

Heh. Abusive language? I consider this far more offensive than neutral use of swearwords. Luckily I have thicker skin than some.

Spanky89 说:
I didnt get any PM

I figured it was obvious what it was for.

Spanky89 说:
but we understand that this forum is run by some who call themselves gods, if they dont like you they can ban you for anykind of reason.

If only.

Spanky89 说:
I have simply asked in my post to give me reasons why you people cant speak without cussing.

I havent gotten any constructive reason for it.

We can't speak without cussing? Sure we can, I'm doing it right now. What you need to do is present a reasonable case for why they shouldn't be allowed to cuss if they feel like it. You'll probably have trouble finding a lot of people who agree with you.

Spanky89 说:
I then ask why do we have language moderators if cussing is allowed? WHats the point with them?

And that question was already answered by Darwin in this post:

Darwin 说:
moderating a board with language different than english :wink:

But I guess your clever and original little joke overwhelmed you and you missed it.

Spanky89 说:
Maybe that was the breaking point, admin realise i might be digging their grave?

Either that, or you're delusional.

Scorch! 说:
I rekon its because he likes to passive aggressively tell us all what to do. And I don't like being told what to do by people who have no right to. And I don't like him very much.

That's okay, it's mutual. Mostly because I have no idea who you even are.

Spanky89 说:
btw i just submitted a pole

please vote =)

Nice, neutral wording, there. It's almost like you're not trying to build a straw man to support your position.

Spanky89 说:
I actually disagree on that one, people who excessively swear have higher chances of turning out to be stupid.

I'm along the same lines as you on this one, but that's their business. I see no reason to muzzle them either way.

As for locking the thread, I did it because this has been discussed to death already a number of times and the topic seemed to be degenerating into nonsense.

True. It can help reinforce your point though, and it's fun, and there is no real reason to think people that swear are less intelligent.

I actually disagree on that one, people who excessively swear have higher chances of turning out to be stupid.

Nonsense. Just look at yourself. Minimal cussing, but your apparent intelligence could be compared unfavourably with that of a kumquat. You are proof that people can be immensely offensive without ever swearing.

Excessive swearing can lower the tone of a conversation, but it has nothing to do with the content. Just look at some of the more prominent members around here. They generally swear a lot, but their posts are well thought out and argued.
 
And i study law and bussiness managment -_- uni

<3

maybe thats why i can manage to offend people without swearing haha

awsome
 
Alright, I've seen enough of this. And in the immortal words of Sir George Carlin: "****, Piss, ****, ****, Cocksucker, Mother****er, and Tits"
 
Warren Ellis put it better

****. This is a word that many people do not like. But you have to understand the English. In England, the word **** is punctuation.
 
Still prefer Carlins, the full quote is just way long :razz:

I love words. I thank you for hearing my words. I want to tell you something about words that I uh, I think is important. I love..as I say, they're my work, they're my play, they're my passion. Words are all we have really.

We have thoughts, but thoughts are fluid. You know, [humming]. And, then we assign a word to a thought, [clicks tongue]. And we're stuck with that word for that thought. So be careful with words. I like to think, yeah, the same words that hurt can heal. It's a matter of how you pick them.

There are some people that aren't into all the words. There are some people who would have you not use certain words. Yeah, there are 400,000 words in the English language, and there are seven of them that you can't say on television. What a ratio that is. 399,993 to seven. They must really be bad. They'd have to be outrageous, to be separated from a group that large. All of you over here, you seven. Bad words. That's what they told us they were, remember? 'That's a bad word.' 'Awwww.' There are no bad words. Bad thoughts. Bad Intentions.

And words, you know the seven don't you? ****, Piss, ****, ****, Cocksucker, Mother****er, and Tits, huh? Those are the heavy seven. Those are the ones that will infect your soul, curve your spine and keep the country from winning the war.

****, Piss, ****, ****, Cocksucker, Mother****er, and Tits, wow. Tits doesn't even belong on the list, you know. It's such a friendly sounding word. It sounds like a nickname. 'Hey, Tits, come here. Tits, meet Toots, Toots, Tits, Tits, Toots.' It sounds like a snack doesn't it? Yes, I know, it is, right. But I don't mean the sexist snack, I mean, New Nabisco Tits. The new Cheese Tits, and Corn Tits and Pizza Tits, Sesame Tits Onion Tits, Tater Tits, Yeah. Betcha can't eat just one. That's true I usually switch off . But I mean that word does not belong on the list.

Actually, none of the words belong on the list, but you can understand why some of them are there. I am not completely insensitive to people's feelings. You know, I can dig why some of those words got on the list...like cocksucker and mother****er. Those are...those are heavy-weight words. There's a lot going on there, man. Besides the literal translation and the emotional feeling. They're just busy words. There's a lot of syllables to contend with. And those K's. Those are aggressive sounds, they jump out at you. CocksuckerMother****erCocksucker. It's like an assault, on you. So I can dig that.

And we mentioned **** earlier, of course. Two of the other 4-letter Anglo-Saxon words are Piss and ****, which go together of course. But forget about that. A little accidental humor there. Piss and ****. The reason Piss and **** are on the list is that a long time ago certain ladies said 'Those are the two I am not going to say. I don't mind **** and ****, but P and C are out. P and C are out.' Which led to such stupid sentences as 'OK, you ****ers, I am going to tinkle now.'

And of course the word ****. The word ****, I don't really...well, this is some more accidental humor, but I don't really want to get into that now. Because I think it takes too long. But I do mean that. I mean, I think the word **** is an important word. It's the beginning of life, and, yet it's a word we use to hurt one other, quite often. And uh, people much wiser than I have said, I'd rather have my son watch a film with two people making love than two people trying to kill one other. And I of course agree. I wish I know who said it first, and I agree with that. But I would like to take it a step further. I would like to substitute the word ****, for the word kill in all those movie cliches we grew up with. 'Okay Sheriff, we're gonna **** ya now. But we're gonna **** ya slow.' So maybe next year I'll have a whole ****in' rap on that word. I hope so.

Uh, there are two-way words, but those are the seven you can never say on television. Under any circumstances you just can not say them ever, ever ever, not even clinically. You can not weave them in the panel with Doc and Ed and Johnny, I mean it's just impossible, forget those seven, they're out.

But, there are some two-way words. There are double-meaning words. Remember the ones your giggled at in sixth grade? 'And the cock crowed three times.''Hey, the cock the cock crowed three times. It's in the bible.' There are some Two-way words, like it's okay for Curt Gowdy [mis-spelled in original transcription. -ed.] to say 'Roberto Clemente has two balls on him.' But he can't say, 'I think he hurt his balls on that play Tony, don't you? He's holding them. He must have hurt them by God.' And the other two-way word that goes with that one is prick. It's okay if it happens to your finger. Yes, you can prick your finger, but don't finger your prick. No, no.
