Swearing

I'm sure this used to be censored, am I wrong? But there is a lot of swearing on the forum all of a sudden.

And now I've just had "Welcome to "the org" 1p1p1i3 .... I sincerely want to fuck the taste out of your mouth" eek

Nice!

This does rather make the org NSFW and also NSF reading while my little girl is nearby. Is it reslly necessary to use swearwords while discussing Prince?

It is mandatory that I swear. Sorry.

I don't see it as being something new to the org, or more often. It is what it is. No, you don't have to swear when discussing Prince, but this site has never claimed to be family friendly - and for the record, neither has Prince's music (until these last eight years or so).

If you listened to Let's Pretend We're Married, then you heard the "fuck the taste out of your mouth" line before... it's a site honoring Prince, and all that he has done, which includes the line in that song.

No, we try to never censor freedom of expression, unless it's directly violating the rules (FAQS page), or directed at another orger in a negative way. I have kids and they've heard Prince all their lives, so the language thing isn't that big of a deal... they know they live in a "do as I say, not as I do" household... lol

Not saying that it's right. Not saying that it's wrong... it just is what it is. Use your best judgement when signing on.

No, of course I am, and of course I know where that comes from.
My only point is, is it necessary to greet me with I sincerely want to fuck the taste out of your mouth?

That sort of stuff really causes problems with me accessing the site from work and also at home. Corporate scanners and little girls and all that.

In all seriousness, it's written so small, really is it that big of a deal. Can your boss zoom in on that tiny italic font that quickly? And what are you doing on the org at work anyway? I'd get a stern look from my boss if I were on the org at work... also, can your daughter zoom in on that statement that quickly too? It all seems a little bit "over-reactive".

Fuck yes.

Just because Prince himself thinks he's too good to use a few words anymore doesn't mean the rest of us need to censor ourselves. This is, after all, a man who made some of his best-loved tunes havens for cusswords.





Fuckity fuck fuck fuck.

Your kid's going to learn the words sooner or later, it might as well be while you're there to have the No-No Words talk with her.

I'm serious! I work in a toy store for God's sake, and I have this nutty habit of doing what I'm paid to do when I'm there. Even if I had access to a computer during paid hours, why would I go online there when I can just do it at home, without having to worry about the boss showing up and giving me hell for having The Kid announce his desire to fuck the taste out of my mouth?

Sorry, but it really kind of annoys me when I hear about people with much better, higher-paid jobs than mine fucking around in a goofy little website when they're supposed to be doing someone's taxes, or whatever. I make less than 10 bucks an hour and do my job properly, what's their holdup?

Yeah, but why would I fuck around on the computer at work when I could be eating? Priorities, jeez.

Yeah, I said the same thing here. I don't find it offensive; at least, it's not hah! Kathy Griffin-Jesus-can-suck-it offensive.

But it IS kind of creepy. I don't want the taste fucked out of my mouth!
