yeah i agree with postmodern beatnik + jhereko etc. cpt dude seems to think we all have some univesal opinion that saying fuck shit cunt 😮 is bad. Well i don't, i mean there only words and if words said in jest provke this reaction.

Unfortunately "in jest" is hard to determine on the internet. Unless "lol jokes" follows it, I guess. However personally I do not like the C word and have rarely used it in any conversation. I saw a Facebook group devoted to "calling your mate's cunts" which just proves that, even though I'm 26 and a Y-Gen, I must be out of touch with the iGeneration.

Same here Shane. I was out last night watching a mate play in town and missed the experience and witty banter that goes on here!

The type of person who uses the word "cunt" for someone they like, I just don't get at all. "Cunt" is a horrible word to be used only in horrible situations for horrible people (Morrissey et al), so very sparingly.

In regards to the "in jest" situation Pam was talking about, I agree with you about how hard it is to tell over the net sometimes what are jokes and what isn't. If you look you can see I put "Just kidding" after what I said. I even elongated it to emphasise it. 😐 I don't know how much clearer I could have been.

This whole topic in general though is getting really tiresome.

Okay one thing

Swearing on the site doesn't bother me at all and as far as i'm concerned I have no problem with "cunt" being said

However seeing as there is such a negative reaction to the word(s)

You may noticed that have never used the word here before 😮

(Not sure if I have sworn at all actually) 🤔

Also at Harken I don't think that is a generation thing as such.... I just don't think language is offensive

Particularly in the way it is used on this site (by most people)

What Bcaie said as well "the users are pretty good at coming down on someone who is being a jerk etc"

I really do think we have a pretty good atmosphere here. 😁

Oh a good ole censorship debate...good fun. Well, as is my usual opinion on the issue, particularly on a forum like atmosphere, infringing on the ability of the members to express themselves in their chosen vernacular is essential for engaging discussions. The fact that people such as Captain Dude choose to "keep it PG" while people such as Jhereko are moderately more liberal with language only contributes to the idiosyncrasies of the individual users. Thus, it becomes apparent over time even without an indicator if this is a "insert user here" post.

That being said however, as is the case in the real world, it is ultimately up to the individual to moderate themselves and treat people with the deserved respect. By and large this notion is maintained amongst the members of this site. The reason I think that, for example, a ban on foul language is entirely unnecessary is the following: When people do step out of line, the community as a whole reacts negatively towards this.

Finally in response to the incident in question, the population of this forum often falls among the sardonic, witty types. Jhereko, I am sure, would identify himself as such. In this case, it seems that this single instance of swearing has been used as a vessel to open a personal tirade on an issue Captain Dude finds undesirable in all contexts. Suffice it to say that in my opinion, this incident should be inconsequential.

Only have one chart, until Albummaster has a chance to finish his changes on BEA and possibly allowing members to have multiple charts.

When a person says leave me alone and stop talking about them. STOP. Don't keep attacking and ganging up on someone. That is not humor, nor fun.

Stay on the TOPIC of the thread. Fine if you drift off for a few posts but, as on the Miley Cyrus thread, this went on and on for numerous pages with totally unrelated conversation which could have and should have been taken to the forum in a separate thread.

Quit complaining about other peoples polls/threads and START YOUR OWN THREAD/POLL.

If you have a problem with another member, GO TO THAT MEMBER with a PM. instead of wasting albummaster's time because you tell him instead of the person you have the problem with. (but do not post other peoples PM's to you in the forums like I had done to me with a PM I had sent to another member)

I think GARY has got it pretty much spot on.

IMO this is an important topic and it would be nice if members actually had something constructive to say to make things better instead of telling jokes and trying to be witty.

See, HERE WE GO AGAIN 😲

And AGAIN and AGAIN with the SAME behavior.

I wasn't even going to comment on this.

But, per usual, someone brings me up.

Then I make a comment, breaking NO RULES with my comment/question.

Then people come along and take their jabs.

Then, per usual, when I point it out, they either deny doing it 🙄

Or say "I was just joking"

Often people don't see what is in the mirror. Some won't even look; afraid of what they will see.

No Pam, actually I can't.

But I do have a suggestion for you Pam.

Why don't YOU, and EVERYBODY ELSE, take a look at the Miley Cyrus thread and The describe the poster before you thread.

These are CURRENT examples of what is REALLY going on here of late.

Also, for all of you who have MORE THAN ONE chart,

See rule #2
