Ok Ed, Thanks, I Refer To My Earlier Question Here:

https://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/ChatterBank/Question1709976-2.html
It was closed down before I could respond. Ok It's the odd swear I use that is the bone of contention. I get that, I will no longer try and bypass the swear filter. Though I do think that the odd minor swear word does garnish writing that is meant too emulate the peaks and trough's of speech rather than an essay.

[andy-hughes]

I disagree.

I manage to write long and often on this site, and to my knowledge, I never use a swear word as part of my posts.

The notion that an unpleasant word 'garnishes' a post is, in my view, a lazy excuse for poor writing, and it's unnecessary.

[Spicerack]

I've had it. ;)

[andy-hughes]

Spicerack - // I've had it. ;) //

Are you boasting or complaining?

[AuntPollyGrey]

TTT No one has the right to ask another user to change their style of writing. If you don't like it or can't understand it then don't read it! I do however agree with Andy Hughes that vulgarity never enhances or garnishes the written word. Its so much more interesting to find a legitimate and literary way of insulting someone ;-)

[Spicerack]

Worried.
You wouldn't believe how hard I try not to swear. We're not all silver tongued patter merchants like your good self, andy.

[AuntPollyGrey]

I swear in real life -probably too much for a lay-dee and can swear in three languages which helps. ;-) But one has to try and respect the fact that wee soft souls easily offended have access to this public site so a user is obliged to try and adhere to the rules .

"No one has the right to ask another user to change their style of writing"

I think the EDs would disagree with that.

[woofgang]

APG this is an open website acessible to all ages. It behoves us to remember that

[naomi24]

I don't swear - but I've come close to it on here. I guess it happens to the best of us. ;o)

[douglas9401]

Some posters would make a saint swear.

[AuntPollyGrey]

woofgang I'm happy you agree with me. I have never used a swear word on here, though once or twice have added the Asterix myself lol! I have been called the worst name on here but although disgusting, says more about the perpetrator.

[tiggerblue10]

I swear a lot when talking but don't when writing.

[jackthehat]

It's the swearing with bothers the Eds, it's the nonsensical rhyming-slang and acronyms that bother many of the rest of us; many of which are designed to insult ABers disagreeing with you but get round contravening the Site Rules.

I am not aware the Ed criticised TTT for using Cockney slang and acronyms. That is the 'Style' I am referring to.

[jackthehat]

*which...

[douglas9401]

I'm shocked that anyone would have the Gaul to add an Asterix!

[youngmafbog]

"it's the nonsensical rhyming-slang "

So you are happy to discriminate a section of society that speaks that way then?

Surely that is what you lot always call Racist?

[Bobbisox1]

Swearing ?yes
But why on earth would it bother anyone about the rhyming slang?

[sandyRoe]

'Your wife, sir, under the pretext of keeping a bawdy house, is a receiver of stolen goods."
If only we could coin insults like that what need would there be for swearing?

Lucky you haven't got my predictive text.
