ForumGarden follows the lead of the Oxford English Dictionary in grading these terms. Bastard is held to be merely vulgar while the other word is, as an exclamation, coarse.

Right. That's an infraction for you, young lady. Go and wash your mouth out this instant with a bar of soap.

Nobody, I hope, is going to follow her example and post rude words in here.

Lots of questions arrive in my head, some of them cause uproar, they are not intended too, i dont always understand why people get so upset about them. Contriversial questions are not always a bad thing, its how they are responded too that can make it go bad. I bet several other people here have thought the very same thing. In fact i think Neffy said earlier in the thread it had crossed her mind.

It was not my hope that anyone would fill the thread with swear words but you can never tell how people will react to a question. I apologize Spot if this turns into a (i know better swear words than you thing) I thought an interesting debate may have come of it, it seems silly to me that some words are much more offensive than 5hit & yet tolerated. How do you go about deciding which one's can & cant be used, is there a guideline for all forums or is it just up to Tombstone?

Heck, I think it's more fun to just asterisk and let people fill in their own as they read.

Doesn't that sound ****** reasonable, you lot of *******, over-analyzing ****** of rotting *****? I mean ****! :rolleyes:
