Gutter language is used when people lack the language skills to make an effective point in plain english, and lack the class to know better. Frankly, anyone who needs to curse on a regular basis is not intelligent enough to be worth reading.

All those who can only disagree with my post by going into the gutter, go for it! Then I can set up my filters all at once. :-)

Gee, I had a post removed by the moderators because I called someone an "idiot." I guess I should have called him "an arrogant asshole," because that is apparently okay around here.

I guess I'm still learning the rules . . . :confused:

I think it depends more on if a mod is around or not.

Reminds me of one of my favorite Eminem lyrics:

Will Smith don't got to cuss in his raps to sell records.
Well I do, so fuck him and fuck you too.

I'm all for the OP making this thread.

What we're trying to do here at S2 is put radical trust in the community members, and to try to foster an environment where there's little or no confrontation between staff and posters.

Where we've seen cuss words put in a site's profanity filter, we've also seen that the posters will masked curse anyway and all that does is make reasons for staff to confront posters over it. We figure if people want to curse and then resort to masked cursing, then cursing is really what they want to do on occasion. So why should we make rules about cursing and get into fights with otherwise fine posters over it?

Part of the radical trust concept is to allow posters to slam public figures, too.

Basically, we expect that if we all treat each other like adults, we'll all act like adults. No matter if some of us are under age (hope they appreciate the treatment). All we really ask is we treat one another with respect; that's the bottom line and the basis of our site rules in a nutshell. If posts have been deleted in this thread or there have been other recent issues, it's all been about not respecting another poster, period.

So why am I for the OP making this thread? Part of radical trust is encouraging people to speak up for things they feel would benefit the site and the community as a whole. Part of radical trust is letting the community members influence each other about the direction of S2.

I personally agree with many who've posted here. I don't mind seeing "offensive" words, and I'm rather pleased that people do use them reasonably.

What we don't want to see is S2 to become known for fostering bigotry or hatred or to become something beyond a site organized around sports. That means no porn or "dear penthouse" kinds of stuff. That's about the only limits I would favor.

Peace all, and hope you gorged yourself on awesome feasts yesterday!

I love swearing. Fuck man. I mean, why edit swearing out anyway. I mean the youngest on this board are fucking War Poet and I. And we're more manly than all of you. We don't go to strip clubs, they come to us. We don't drink beer, we drink Jack and Rum...mixed with vodka. We invented the Wiserhood so people could try and feel as robusk and manly as us. We go through bitches like we go through Kleenex when are parents aren't home. Suck on that mother fuckers.

You're a real classy guy. I'm sure your mother is very proud.
 
Denny, good philosophy in practice, but many are not mature enough to cuss without leading to a loss of respect. Basically, you're encouraging something that brings out the worst in people. People don't understand they're talking to a large audience, not just a couple friends in the same room... Everyone reveled in the freedom of this board when they flocked over from BBF, now they're getting pissed at each other because of the words allowed by that freedom.

This post is more offensive to me than any foul language.


Daring people to respond with profanity is rather weak in my opinion. That is very much like grabbing someone by the shirt and daring them to punch you, there is a good chance that they will.

I do have a foul mouth. Wanna fight about it?

I don't fight with children. I do want to know one thing, however. Who in the world thought it was a good idea to make you a moderator??
 
Good grief. I just noticed that one of the moderators on this board is 15 years old. That helps explain what is going on around here.

ive never felt "robusk", but i imagine this "wiserhood" makes a sausage party look like girls night out.. more like a slim jim party.
