How clean do we need to keep it?

[Cranky]

In the word department. I'm generally not a foul mouth but I'm no saint either. I see the 'f' word from time to time and some of the others as well. I've read the rules and well, seems it's sorta allowed?

I, for one, am not really picky about the language.....at times anyway. There are occasions that more............colorful................words are needed, and I really don't have an issue with that. However, using the "F" word (or anything else) just because you can type it any time you feel like it would be excessive and unnecessary. And I think the rest of the Mods and Admin feel pretty much the same way.

I could be f*(&$*'n wrong about that though:werd:

I agree. While a colorful wording is a prefured method, outright curses (ing) is fine if used sparingly and with just cause. To curse for the sake of curses sake is just really kind of childish. If your mad and scream out something, well, fine. But to belittle or just writein a bunch of F bombs is something that really shouldn't be done. Consider your writings something that could be veiwed by a youngster.

My kids curse, but when they do so, it is at least applied in the proper manor.

Example; (Nearly under her breath) "****, I forgot my books at school, damn it"

it's not like; "Hey Dad, WTF is up you ol'bastrad, GD you look like a bucket of shyst, stop working so F'in much. And your so GD crabby! Stop being a D*** allready and calm the Frak down A-hole!"

LOL, That never happens though I'm sure the thought is there. (Ahhh, teenagers!)

Hey Rob, WTF is up you ol'bastrad? GD you look like a bucket of shyst, stop working so F'in much. And your so GD crabby! Stop being a D*** allready and calm the Frak down A-hole!:laughing4:

I'd have to place myself in the same boat as Cranky. I'm not a saint, but those around me regularly wouldn't call me a potty mouth either. I don't intend to change someone's behavior with this, just keep in mind there are young Mopar enthusiasts who frequent the site. I've got a 13yr old daughter who wants her first car to be a 64-66 Barracuda. I wish I had sites like this when I first became interested in Mopars when I was 14. But, I will hesitate to allow her to go on the site without supervision because someone can't find the right words to say so they grasp at anything. (I'd like to say becasue someone has the education of a 5th grader and the morals of a Mardi Gras street whore, but I'll be nice). And yeah, they'll hear the words elswhere, but do they have to hear it here too? One more thing, just because you can doesn't mean you should.

 

[Meep-Meep]

Nothing wrong with euphemistically saying or spelling the word. I think writing "effing" gets the point across without actually writing it properly and keeps it semi clean and somewhat classy. In other words, just like that effing A-hole mad mod's example

 

[daredevil]

Our kids must have the same teacher. lol

 

[rumblefish360]

Ya'll a scream. Meep meep, your funny.

In other words, just like that effing A-hole mad mod's example

get the sinner! :icon_axe:

 

[chrisd]

I agree with Meep. However I was refering to ones mental capacity ( or lack thereof) To complete a sentence with a touch of class and not ones vocabulary.

 

[chrisd]

Correction: I'm not refering to one's grammar, just the limited vocabulary

I cant and wouldnt tell anyone how to speak unless it be here in the ole cabin home. You all seem to be friendly folks, At least i can get an answer to a question, MM forums doesnt seem to be like that. HEY! maybe its cause im a new-bie, I am a christion but find it or would find it strange to sit down and take the time to type it. Godbless, Ron

 

[Cranky]

Y'all are too funny lol! I like this place and don't worry....I generally don't bother to type out cuss words. Hard enough to type regular words and as for talking that way, I try not but there are times when people just bring out the worse of me but the ones that speak that crap in their everyday talk are the ones I try to stay away from. There was this guy at work that would insert cuss words into the middle of cuss words....talented for sure lol

 

[rumblefish360]

Sounds like a flippin New flippin Yorker thos bumbz!
