Children: 4 yr old goof ball | Profanity Poll Part 2 | | It has come to my attention that we might be losing a few good and long time members due to us allowing profanity. I won't name any names but they are people that have made VERY fine contributions to the forum, and to my knowledge have never had conflicts with anyone here.
We have gotten along just fine without it for quite some time.
I know we put this to a vote but I guess I'm going to propose a new question.
Is having the right to use profanity worth losing members over?

Children: One boy 8, twin girls 7. | Re: Profanity Poll Part 2 | | I will still not cuss. I may use abbrev. Like fk or arse but I just don't talk like that. I hope they stick around. I don't need to swear to get my point across. I respect the one's who do not swear and I don't see the need to HAVE to swear. I'm all set. |

Children: One boy, Bradley | Re: Profanity Poll Part 2 | | I voted "Yes, let them leave"
But that was before I saw that we are losing long term active members. If you mean people like Trina, or Teresa...then I change it to "No." They are wonderful contributors, and great role models for our site.
I don't cuss in public, btw. You wouldn't think it would be that hard for people to just show a little restraint! |
