I've been quietly deleting F-Bombs, folks, but it's not going to be quietly done, anymore.
We try to keep this a family-friendly place. F-Bombs and G-Ds are not acceptable. Like my own shortcomings, you might talk like that but you don't have to write in such a manner. If I can do it, you can do it as well.
I'll still delete such language, but it'll come with the price of temp-banning.
I’ve met a few NCOs that had this genetic defect too.
And for the record, I’ve perfected my language skills in the merchant marine. I know Bosuns mates that can construct whole sentences using only the f-bomb word. :devil:
It is odd how curse words have morphed over my lifetime.
In the late 50's early 60's my parents would never say such words in front of us kids.
My dad, a former greaser and soldier from the early 1950's easily felt comfortable cussing with the best of them, this he told me.
But I can honestly say I rarely if ever heard him utter such words as I grew up. Mom! NEVER!
Mrs S, prior to our marriage and multi year courtship, never said a bad word as far as I know.... until we were married for a number of years and had our first child. Our oldest son, when he was a couple of years old, could not pronounce his F's and his D's; he mixed them up.
I know this because one day I returned from a business trip and he told off on his mom, my angelic wife. My innocent 2 year old told me...Mama said DUCK! DUCK DUCK DUCK Mama was MAD! :vs_laugh:
Sometime in the early 1990's, in the lumber business, I began to curse regularly. It was our way of talking especially those of us in Sales and Purchasing. Why? Hell, I have no idea but it escalated since then.
One day, I woke up and little teen age girls were using the F-Word and talking with such vile foul language, that it astounded most of us. But we allowed it to continue and grow.
I guess its pretty sad.
I wish I would have been born in the the late 1860's and been a cowboy taming the west...

Contrast this to Ma Ingalls. In "The Long Winter," Laura recounts a story where Pa is talking about one of the horses thrashing around when he broke through the snow while they were hauling hay over the slough. At the end of the story, he proclaims, "Stupid horse!" Ma's shocked response was, "Charles, don't swear!"
My platoon lead Drill Sergeant in Basic Training, an Airborne, Combat Infantry Badge wearing, black Staff Sergeant, could curse a trainee for a number of minutes very creatively, and without repeating himself.
I learned some classics from that man, which I still use today.
To be completely honest, neither Denton nor I really wanted this job.
When the forum was new and growing, the former owner asked us to take the job. At the time there was the owner and one moderator.
Each of us felt like this was a good place, and we didn't want to see it die due to lack of manpower.
And besides, we are both ex-military, and we know how to do what is asked of us.
And, as they say in the movies, the rest was history.
I remember that. I couldn't tell you who the first mod was, that was too long ago. But I remember when it changed hands and you two became mods now that you mention it.
Where I live (Quebec) they don't consider the Fbomb a swear as it is not religious Took me awhile to get used to listening to the radio and have the guys dropping fbombs casual like.
You gotta love the word F--k. It's a term that generally means making love. A wonderful and beautiful interaction between a man and a woman. it's an act of love and devotion between two souls, and yet, it's the word you save till the end of the argument. Ahhhh F--k You and the damn horse you rode in on!!:devil:
