It was closed down before I could respond. Ok It's the odd swear I use that is the bone of contention. I get that, I will no longer try and bypass the swear filter. Though I do think that the odd minor swear word does garnish writing that is meant too emulate the peaks and trough's of speech rather than an essay.

I'm shocked that anyone would have the Gaul to add an Asterix!

I disagree.

I manage to write long and often on this site, and to my knowledge, I never use a swear word as part of my posts.

The notion that an unpleasant word 'garnishes' a post is, in my view, a lazy excuse for poor writing, and it's unnecessary.
I've had it. ;)

Are you boasting or complaining?
TTT No one has the right to ask another user to change their style of writing. If you don't like it or can't understand it then don't read it! I do however agree with Andy Hughes that vulgarity never enhances or garnishes the written word. Its so much more interesting to find a legitimate and literary way of insulting someone ;-)
Worried.
You wouldn't believe how hard I try not to swear. We're not all silver tongued patter merchants like your good self, andy.
I swear in real life -probably too much for a lay-dee and can swear in three languages which helps. ;-) But one has to try and respect the fact that wee soft souls easily offended have access to this public site so a user is obliged to try and adhere to the rules .
"No one has the right to ask another user to change their style of writing"

I think the EDs would disagree with that.
APG this is an open website acessible to all ages. It behoves us to remember that
I don't swear - but I've come close to it on here. I guess it happens to the best of us. ;o)
Some posters would make a saint swear.
woofgang I'm happy you agree with me. I have never used a swear word on here, though once or twice have added the Asterix myself lol! I have been called the worst name on here but although disgusting, says more about the perpetrator.
I swear a lot when talking but don't when writing.
It's the swearing with bothers the Eds, it's the nonsensical rhyming-slang and acronyms that bother many of the rest of us; many of which are designed to insult ABers disagreeing with you but get round contravening the Site Rules.

I am not aware the Ed criticised TTT for using Cockney slang and acronyms. That is the 'Style' I am referring to.
*which...

"it's the nonsensical rhyming-slang "

So you are happy to discriminate a section of society that speaks that way then?

Surely that is what you lot always call Racist?
Swearing ?yes
But why on earth would it bother anyone about the rhyming slang?
'Your wife, sir, under the pretext of keeping a bawdy house, is a receiver of stolen goods."
If only we could coin insults like that what need would there be for swearing?

Lucky you haven't got my predictive text.
