Some people think too much...

I just left that as a post about "Truth".

On Carforums.com, there was some falming going on about auromobileforums.com, but being me, I decided to change the subject. Pennzoil is a mod over there and on one of his posts, he said "cr*p".

I didn't get it, so I assumed it was a "bad" word. Then we got into some more posts about what is considered swearing now of days. Swearing is just promising something and what's wrong with that?

What I did above is word play, like in the "Truth" thread. "Swearing" is also word play. It's only bad if someone considers it bad. The words are just made up like other words and have no meaning or are used in the wrong way. I could start calling someone a "chair" and I was saying it means something bad, over time it would be banned and sybolized(ch*&%). Get my point?

It' a stupid concept! Who are you (incharge personal) to decide whether words are bad or not? I'm sure that back in the day, "crap", "suck", "shoot" even were bad then. Now they are regular words. Does this mean the words of now will be used regular on other forums?

One more thing, the incharge personal wasn't directed at the mods. It was directed to everyone in general that says "swearing" is banned and all. So no offense.
