Did we get to the bottom of who/what had aroused Crocs wrath?

Oooo, nice punts 

I don't think so, but the fred's gawwwwwn 

Ok Confession time.

Who else went hotfoot to the Troll tank to see if it was there

Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee - some things don't make it there.............poor Croc - something was obv iously bugging big time!

 

I couldn't be arsed.  Last time I was on a thread that was moved it ended up briefly in pretty much every section of this website.  I chased it around.

 

 

On a serious note, since this is a site for adults, f*ck knows why swearing is not permissible.  Who really is offended by it? 

Dunno, I frequent a few footy fora where foul language is pretty much the norm, to the point where the admins finally had to ask

What the *@!& is up with all the swearing here? It's like a Tourettes convention

 

Soozy, it has to be done!

Although I have a girlie chuckle at the C word and have been known to use it on occasion myself - it is really a step too far isn't it? I have no idea why Croc was pushed to say that but ......................I have been on forums in the past where anything goes and .........................................I don't like it TBH.

I once got banned from c4 forums for a rant that involved the big bad C word I'd had a bit to drink, as you do, and was mad that c4 had moved OZ to e4, and I only had terrestrial tv at the time. I was upset I'd not see how it ended.. I had to write 3 begging e mails to get them to let me back in

Bugger I miss everything....

i hope croc ain't been banned. But it was a bit of a massive statement.

Get on here earlier then

 

Was it bollox.  There was no follow through.  Weak.

Passed out after drink?

I would'nt have too if people would spill..I would....

She's still actived....

That's not a word

Active....

Dunno why I noted it.  I'm fan of neologisms.  Actived will do.

Anyway. whoever it is said "You're all C*nts"

 

 

The internet temporarily collapsed in shock. 

Well it could be a Probiotic....

 

But what thread..I need to knowwww....

It's gone away.  Thread title - "You're all C*nts" [without the, for some reason, required editing].

 

 

No one actually had apoplectic spasms.  The world continued turning.

Yes, it is nice to prove that we are not shockable, that nothing on earth will disturb us.

It is nice to demonstrate that we are ever so tolerant and broad-minded.

BUT it is also nice to consider the feelings of other people who may not like it in this particular setting.

We may do and say certain things in private, but that doesn't mean we can do them whenever and wherever we want.

It is not too difficult to refrain from offending others. Nor do I think it is clever or smart to offend them deliberately.

Not everyone approves. We should consider others.

Brisket, tbh I can find things that offend me on this forum - yet I am not offended by swearing.

 

Why would some else's offence-ometer be valued more than mine? 

 

 

I wouldn't seek to censor anyone here.

 

 

I accept that I live in a world where certain things will offend me.  And I man up and accept that!  Isn't that part of what being an adult is?  Accepting that we will allow people to express certain things that may make us feel iffy - but feel okay that they're able to state that, if that is how they think? 

 

In an adult environment I would have thought that anything that does not transgress any laws was okay....

I`ve been thinking about this Veggie (beware...danger zone ahead ) 

 

I think Croc was being funny/ironic because of Soozy`s thread about peeps being afraid to say what they think. 

 

I don`t believe that Croc thinks we`re a clutch of punts. I think she was hoping for a laugh but someone hit the report button. 

 

That`s my take on it anyway....      

I would have found it funny and not been offended if it was meant in jest

I missed it,and swearing doesn't bother me in the least.In fact I have to restrain me fingers at times on here.

I always use 'Twunts', on here, just in case! 

If she does, she would come out and say so, she's straight like that.

I wasn't offended at all but that particular word does seem to be the one that offends more than others (of the swearing variety not the racist/sexist etc kind)

 

You do!

I put a list 111!!!1!!!1! in and everyfink in the event that the thread was a receptacle for anything suitable

Just to be clear:



There are a very few words in the filter. No one gets banned if you say them, but the software isn't supposed to allow it to be posted.



While some of you weren't offended, some of you were, clearly. I would think that you should all be adult enough be able to refrain from using one or two words, yes?

I am rarely offended Lori, but there is something about that word, that is just unpleasant.  I wouldn't use it on here, or say the eff word... I may put 'fcuk,' but even that is rare.  I think you're crossing the line putting words like the eff word and the c-word on message forums because they are quite severe.  I have known kids suspended from school for 2 weeks for calling the teacher a c-word, but not for calling them a shit or a twat..they just get detention for that...  It's just a grotty word, and I think even the most open minded of people would agree with that.  Dont know what possessed Croc to put that post, because she didn't put anything else.  Maybe she was just having a laugh.  It was a very odd thing to put IMO.

stating that its an adult forum doesn't excuse using obscene language, i am offended by the c word and "eff" i don't particularly like tw*t , there are many words in the english language and i am sure that there are others that could suffice!

I tend to agree with you Machel.

Some people are offended by a lot worse things. 

To me an expletive used in the right context is ok,just casually peppering them around normal "convo's" etc is not.I mean when you read or watch something terrible on tv or in news papers.

Tis a long time since I held a punt in my hand

I shall give you one.

 

 

when ever we meet

Its a long time since i sat on one of those there in the first post.
