Swearing is an artform.

Those who are not able to swear properly fall back upon censorship.

Ban all words or ban none.

I didn't swear in this post.

The difference between a dumb cusser and a smart one is knowing when cussing is appropriate.

Removing posts that contain swearing and handing out warnings, in a thread about swearing.

That's a big old logic fail.

Would you agree?

[MOD]

Excessive swearing is not allowed on WP, no matter if you're trying to joke around or not.

Stop it.

It's alright if the post containing the swearing is constructive and discreetly adheres to the topic of discussion, other than that it stinks of emotional appeal and is not worth the time.
