It's been an emotional couple of days for a lot of people, but profanity doesn't look good in the long run, especially on a public forum (which may be archived forever). Being civil usually works best. Just sayin' people. :)

(Exclamation points, bolding, italics, different colors and font sizes are all good ways to add emphasis!) :D

WWRPD?

Self-control is a Libertarian virtue. Practice it.

I don't ever plan on running for public office, but many others on this forum might. Most if not all the posts on this forum are cached by Google and other search engines, so the things you may post be used against you.

Hahahahaha...I'm constantly censoring myself to avoid typing curse words in all caps. :D

Also, there are plenty of expletives that don't communicate that a person is lacking in vocabulary quite the way that reflexive use of swear words does.

Here are some examples:
Good goobledy goops!
Snikey!
Hokey Pete!
Fruit baskets!
Jiminy Cricket!
Great Scott!

If we used those, this would become a Napoleon Dynamite fan forum.

"You find a need to use a lot of obscenities at the dentist?"
"I let the expletives fly!"

Definitely agree. I'm sure there are many welfare-warfare state type people on here (yes, we know you are watching!)

At least keep it to a minimum.....

I never thought about that.

It would be funny if he addressed me personally. Like, "I am deeply dissapointed about the behavior exhibited by SelfTaught. His crude language and inapropriate comments diminish our efforts to restore liberty to our great nation. We must be careful not to let anymore alcoholic jerks into our grassroots organization."

But then again, I think he has much more pressing things to do. I doubt he cares too much about any of the forums associated with his presidential candidacy.

A student may use such terms as Ho momma, bastard, bitch, and the like, but he or she may not say that Ho momma "N" word, that bastard "N" word, or that bitch "N" word. Any reference to the "N" word will not be tolerated and will be grounds for immeditate termination.

Thank You,

I'd like administration to clarify whether we're allowed to call people "neocons." :D
