    Like I said earlier, I think profanity is ok as long as it's not overused. There's nothing wrong with a few f-bombs here and there, just not when they're used in excess.

    And this is why this is a tricky issue. A lot of people are more than ok with it, and can go overboard with it. Then we have people who are ok with it and use it tastefully. Then we have the third group of people who are against it. It's really a no-win situation for us staff. We simply can't appease everyone. If we take away the ability to curse, people might complain or find ways to mask it anyways, and this could, in the end, cause more problems than simply not having the filter on.

    I'm not one to call out fellow staff or anything, but is this really necessary King?

    Everything Shake says his tongue in cheek, even when he doesn't realize it.

    Interesting comment from a "moderator." You obviously have no clue what your job is on this board, and I have to question the sanity of those who gave you the position.

    Can't you just let it die already? Now this will go on for another 5 pages and the humor in all of it is starting to fade. Actually the humor was gone about 2 pages ago.

    I dunno. It seems like anything goes in the Blazer forum, so I don't care.

    I'm with Shooter on this. Why is a moderator being allowed to instigate? Leadership comes from the top...

    For the record, I have nothing against profanity per se. It just gets annoying when used gratuitously. Most people will find a better way to say something if they truly have something important to say.

    What are you, 12 years old? What the heck is going on around here? This place seems to be run by a bunch of high school kids sitting at their bedroom computers and seeing who can sling the best insults.

    Ridiculous.

    I found it funny, but it's hard to decipher some kinds of humor on the internet without a smiley or somethin.

    Lol, I don't use smilies that often. I found this a silly thread to begin with and I am at my bedroom computer. Hungover actually, but oh well. Anyway, everyone keep it hood. Also, buy Kanye West's new album 808 & Heartbreak.

    How about the Blazers?

    3-way tie for the top of the NW division!!

    Every game vs Denver and Utah will be huge!!! We just gotta protect our home court vs. them. Should be a wonderful season.

    Funny thing about this thread is that it could have been answered with a simple PM to an admin, instead someone started a thread about Swearing and now it's turned into a fight.

    Every damn thread, a couple morons choose to mess it up. Everybody STFU and talk about the Blazers.

    He's just trying to be funny. You should relax a little. Was it funny? Not really but being uptight about every post will just make it worse.

    As apposed to what? Bible-humping, gay-hating, neonazi-fearing, hardheads who have nothing better to do than case trouble instead of casing fun?

    Do you mean the females who grew up in a separate dimension where bunnies bring chocolate carrots to them each morning for breakfast and where flying unicorns are the preferred mode of transport?

    That is right, these women do exist and we should wholeheartedly be conscious of them when we choose to utter profane language that they surely have never heard. Just imagine a world where women think dirty thoughts and do dirty things just the same as men. Not a world I want to live in. No way Jose.
