[Max White]

I swear a little, but not an unreasonable amount... Really, we keep things more clean then a friendly visit to the pub, so it isn't like we suffer from 'internetitis' where as soon as we are online we become more load mouth jerks then we normally are.

SHUTUP AND UNPLUG YOUR ENTIRE COUNTRY

In all the time I have known bay12, I have never been so tempted to change my signature...

Nah, I'm way too attached to it by now.

Max White wouldn't be Max White without his declaration of love for kimberlite, ice, sapphires, robes and neko girls for their cute intentions
oh and tea (but that's a given)

edit: Though I guess your filter does that anyway.   

Where does Max White come from? Internet filters suck.

[Blargityblarg]

Then he has no filter. The filter hasn't been put through (yet).

You can't expect them durn foreigners to know that.

In all seriousness we are so 'clean' because we self *Vector* moderate *Vector* ourselves *Vector* fairly well.

Well, I'm glad to hear that my Powers of Angry Discourse are at least causing some folks some entertainment.

I'm personally glad for the influence. It makes us better people, if ever so slightly.

[darkrider2]

this forum is more foul mouthed than others? Admittedly, I swear with every other word but I don't go on others enough to know if that's abnormal.

I nominate that the title of this thread be changed to:

How are these forum's so fucking clean?

In reality, I don't really curse in front of anyone, mostly out of courtesy. On the internet, however, I'm more the Precision F-Striker type, and only really curse when it would be most effective or show the most emotion or something.

In my opinion swear words are pretty useless for conveying emotion. They're more of filler words for when the person doesn't know what they want to say. Think of situations when someone would insert a few swear words.

"fucking bitch ass motherfuckers stole my car."
versus
"Those guys stole my car!"
without the swear words, the actual emotion comes in more clearly. In the first example, I get the person's angry (maybe, though it could be a friendly prank pulled on the person). In the second, I get that they're desperate, probably angry, and really want their car back. In person, it's even more obvious because of body language, which is largely obscured beneath the swearing.

For years I never swore in public. Someone then dared me to swear because they thought I had something against it. "fuck". It was fun to see the shock on their faces when they realized I didn't have any anti-swearing principle or something.

[Itnetlolor]

Meh, I was raised to not curse for the same reasons I mentioned. I find it funny how I am encouraged or "given permission" to, and yet, I still don't. I'm kinda conditioned to that. Now with the internet or written media or something, where my voice wouldn't be heard directly, apparently, it works like a loophole in my subconscious or something. It's odd.

I'm not sure where you come from, but where I live, the first one conveys anger a whole lot more clearly than the second. The second one is like an announcement, something you might hear on the news. The first is a primal yell of rage.

Our record, if I remember correctly, is next post after the OP. And eventually we'll have the OP derail himself and reach the Higgins-Bozone Quandry. We will never be able to get smaller but also get infinitely smaller infinitely smaller as time progresses.

I've done it with general discussion threads before. Writing rants where my conclusion doesn't match what I tried to say.

I used to not swear.
Then I encountered George Carlin.
Now I say fuck censorship.

[Zangi]

There is swearing for the sake of it... and there is swearing.  Though, I personally prefer to use not-swears.  They are more fun, at least for me.

And yea, there have been a number of times where I had full length posts... and decided not to post them and just back out or go into 'trolleasy mode'.
