I was raised better than that. For those who do use it, I try to be understanding that by and large they didn't have the benefit of my momma's discipline, nor likely the benefit of being raised Southern. But that is only my own personal feelings on the subject. <br /><br />I do have and do enforce a no vulgarity provision in our guild, along with a non-PC speech code that forbids discussion of politics, religion and generally insulting name calling. Not because I don't have specific viewpoints on the forbidden subjects, but because everyone has views on these subjects and nothing will bring out anger faster than discussing such online. <br /><br />I could give specific examples of such speech being divisive, but I will refrain from that to protect the guilty as well as the innocent in the guild. I will say that among the very few guild kicks in our history, intemperate cursing and refusing to take a hint that it was not allowed resulted in at least two of the kicks occurring. <br /><br />Anon Grumpy's GLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-84172153328794984502011-11-04T11:35:38.903-04:002011-11-04T11:35:38.903-04:00'Just because it is the internet does not give...'Just because it is the internet does not give you a license to be a jerk.'<br /><br />WTB this on a T-Shirt please :DMoveable Presshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09142421045872583295noreply@blogger.com
