Featured Language use on the board

I've seen it and have wondered the same thing.

 

It has been getting worse. I don't understand poor language (or poor grammar for that matter.) Perhaps posts like this will help right the ship. Thanks!

 

Good Luck - You are correct, though!

I've complained about the loose language, such as the use of cr*%....among other words I don't think should be used. In fact, I was given an infraction a few years back for saying the same things people are getting away with all the time now!

One of the reasons I was Infracted was because I called another member a sm#%& a#$, and questioned his salvation. Today, we see much worse, and even though I've complained and asked for the infraction to be removed in light of what is going on TODAY on this board, I have been denied. I see it as a contradiction, but, hey, what are you going to do? I love the board and many of the members, so, I put up with the trash talking, and try to stay clear, as much as I can! :thumbs:

So, I say, you are correct. A few years ago, I was drawn into the trap of resorting to calling another member a name I regret, but not for asking how he could claim to be a Christian with the way he badgered and attacked me!

I do not know why the rules have loosened up, but the direction of this board's adherence to the rules regarding fighting and language seems to reflect the direction of this nation.

When the nation is willing to forgo following and applying laws that concern how people become citizens...it should not surprise you that no one on the board is doing anything about the decline in enforcing stated policy, and rules meant to govern this board!
It is a sad state of affairs...:tear:

 

This thread along with PMs from two individuals that have proven to be true brothers in Christ (no names mentioned here, you know who you are) have convicted me that I am part of the overall problem in this area. While I have not used the direct phrases mentioned above, towards one individual, I have used phrases that are implied and might as well have used more direct phrases. That is all the detail I will use in this thread, but will be starting a thread to apologize to the entire board for the disruptions that I caused and what I am doing to stop the cycle.

I think he is talking more about directing the words towards others, not the particular word.

 

I was just watching Fox and they had a soldier on itand he just commented about something being . RIGHT...:laugh:

 

EWF, thought I'd apologize in advance in case I inadvertently call you an unsaved doo-doo head. :laugh:

 

Moderators cannot always "catch" the culprit using slang while reading through threads and must depend upon individual readers-----please do your best to report slang/curse words----no excuse for using curse words

 

Jar Head, Doo-Doo Head, Skin Head, Block Head, "Richard" Head, Meat Head, Fat Head, Pin Head, Zipper Head. :laugh:

Trying to hurt my feelings......aim higher.:tongue3:

 

Jets fan. :flower: Maybe that was too harsh....

 

Low shot.............. Worse that Eagles fan.

 

I'm just glad I don't have to listen to some of the accents you Yankees have.

 

Apparently cursing on this board is subjective to the powers that be. No real standard that everyone can rely on. So if you are going to do it whether or not you get hit for it depends on the mood of the mods that day. About like everything else. Good luck

 

As is using language to insult others; as is using innuendo to defame otherse; as is casting spurious comments about others used to demean others and derail threads.

 

I try not to use words I can't find in the KJV.

I believe there is a time to tear down.

 

He could have called you a Jags fan. Whew, way too close for comfort! :laugh:
