Profanity
OK, I have to admit, reading the threads late at night tends to keep me awake and usually entertained, and I agree with every 'rantin and 'ravin rep out there, but I have a quick question for you all..
Can you not possibly express your emotions without the help of profanity? So many of you take such extreme measures to come up with various alternative spellings for profanity, and all for what? There are customers out there reading this stuff, and while I TOTALLY agree that we have EVERY right to free speach and the ability to get the day to day frustrations off our chests, reducing ourselves to such a level leaves us sitting around with all the cranky customers that think we should give them the world with a few credits attached!

Well, when customers stop cussing at as like sailors trying to get a phone and accessories for free without a contract, then maybe we won't have anything to cuss about ourselves. 😳

I disagree. Rarely do customers swear AT me, though they may swear in casual conversation. But anyways, let me just draw up a list here:
REASONS WHY PEOPLE SWEAR
1) To identify with a level of frustration/anger/spite that cannot be expressed properly with the average person's vocabulary
2) To reverse the condescension that we are subject to in our retaliations
3) Profane words are easy substitutes in place of other nouns, adjectives, and verbs of all kinds
4) Profanity is an excellent source of vernacular that contains little imagination, an attribute complementary to the tripe we constantly hear
5) Swearing makes you cool, like smoking and sleeping around

See, I too beleive that we ought not swear as often as we do, here and everywhere. I don't find it overly offensive (well, some threads go too far, but you see what I'm saying, I hope...), but I can see how you have difficulty reading through the slog that gets flung around here. If it helps, I only tend to swear when I am amazed, or when it's really, really funny
...
If it was known how many times I backspace and show restraint instead of typing in some moronic curse people would be amazed (most often it was when replying to pooky bear).
To me it just really isn't needed as often as it is done.
