Our difference of opinion was just that......not an argument, and I have no hard feelings about Shaker.

Back to the question - I do not find Accywebs ban on swearing a problem at all, since I do not use that kind of language in my everyday life.

As far as who should be allowed to swear, and at what volume.....well, I try not to listen to the conversations being held by other people in public places, but some people speak so loudly you would have to be deaf not to hear them.......and to find a simple conversation liberally sprinkled with expletives that are unnecessary to the subject matter, is I find, offensive. Maybe I was born into the wrong era.
I would say that to the people who use profanities, would you like to hear your grandmother use such language.....or would you use such language in front of her....and they say YES....I would say that they are lying.
