Think that is the first reply from you not containing certain words… bravo !, see it is possible to do
Ha ha ha
Yes like you I do this out of interest and gain nothing financially
My personal gain is knowledge from requests for help, answers and the exchange of information. Which I very much appreciate
If you can’t your point across without swearing, what’s the point?
If you can’t get your point across with swearing, what’s the point?!
Bollocks!
If something’s bullshit, why should I call it “manure”?
My only comment here is: " No we all don’t use foul language’"
I’ve noticed too that it is becoming common place on so called modern productions of film and TV.
Thanks for keeping this community ‘on the clear’
I think the only time, this is me personally would use foul language is when I’m extremely pissed off, with something that I cannot solve. I had it drummed into me not to swear all the time, but I do get carried away when I start to rant on about something that’s completely out of my control, introducing words that are not humanly possible and mostly can’t or do not exist, but they do in my mind. I agree with Akito on this one, this Forum is not selling anything, or paying out for the advice we give to people, we are all here not just for the love of Linux, but to let our hair down, chill out, chillax, have some fun, banter. Meeting others who share your love for the Linux Desktop, helping others if we want to, or know how to answer their predicament they find themselves in? Even though there maybe some swear words or cussing, they are just words that cannot harm you, they are not intentional, they are to break up the norm and add some brightness to the subject in hand, but yes if every other or every word is F-Bombing for example
Then muck me the mucking muck, muck, muck only went and mucked up royally on the mucking mucked up pissing muck, that mucked a muck, muck, muck, that mucked it up in the first mucking mucked up place.
To me this sounds funnier than actually using the F word, but yes keep swearing in context, but make it funny to the person reading it, like Daniel.M.Tripp does, when I read his really long paragraphs, that even I am also guilty of, I find myself laughing, because it has been broken up with swear words and I know that I would say or think the same thing, in the same scenario.
When written properly and introduced into the conversation swearing and cussing can be very funny indeed. With the above example replacing the F with a M, I have gotten my point across, without offending anyone, but then where is the freedom of speech? No one would use so many F words in one sentence though or would they?
Shite!
I did it again today…
My brother sent me an email earlier today, about music and U2 and Pavarotti collaboration for Ms Sarajevo… So anyway - I just hit “reply” in Gmail and wrote an informed response (mainly what a hypocrit Bono is, he cares about humanity, but at the same time squirrels his millions away tax free in the Caymans or whatever) - but I used a few choice 4-letter-words in the last paragraph of my response…
I used the “c” word… the one that rhymes with James Blunt (who is also one, I LOATHE his songs)…
I get a reply from my brother, “please don’t swear in emails to mum, it really upsets her…”
DOH!!!
The default “reply” button in GMail web client, is : “REPLY ALL” ! And he’d included our mum in that “conversation” about U2 and Pavarotti and Sarajevo…
Not the first time I’ve been undone in a similar fashion, and it probably won’t be the last…
Straight out of a hilarious sit-com… 
Like *Curb Your Enthusiasm or Seinfeld…
Another case even worse than that, not reviewing before hitting send?
When my younger brother died, in 2014, I was his only “family” here in Perth (and he was my only family, here, in Perth, West Australia, my siblings and mum live either in Melbourne 3000+ km away, or the UK)… And after his funeral I had to deal with his BINT of an ex missus, they’d been separated nearly 10 years, but this FUCKING BINT acted like she was still with him (and she was the bitch who ditched him), and it was DRIVING ME INSANE having to deal with her, she wasn’t even a stoner, but she acted like a ditzy always stoned marijuana user (I have nothing against its use, all drugs should be decriminalised, prohibition never works, and prohibition flies in the face of capitalism anyway, says me, the hypocrit, being a socialist / anarchist)…
So anyway - one day maybe 3 weeks after my brother’s funeral I was writing a long winded email to my surviving brother, mum, and two sisters, and FUCKING GMAIL finished the CC list for me and appended my brother’s EX’s email to this conversation where I called her all sorts of unpleasant things, and hit SEND without reviewing first, and she received it!
DOH!!!
That was 7+ years ago, and the memory, and the loss, are still fresh, so you’d a THUNK I’d be more careful, but not…
I still sometimes accidentally CC customers in work emails to my colleagues with maybe a tad too much cynicism instead of strictly “business bullshit flowery talk” - and I get a rebuking email from an SDM (“service delivery manager” - a pox on them I say!) telling me not to send stuff like that to the customer…
*Curb Your Enthusiasm : one of the funniest comedies ever made! New season, 11th season coming out soon! Seriously funny, and while I usually prefer Aussie or Pommie (English) comedy, I love most of the stuff Larry David does (e.g. like Seinfeld and Curb).
