What's the story on language ?

[Abraxas]

Being Australian it's not uncommon to use expletives without a second thought.

Words like Bl**dy, Sh*t, are probably the ones most likely to come out of my mouth. I know people from other parts of the world are easily offended by such words, what is the Forum rule on this.

Bl**dy considerate of me to ask really  . Wouldn't like to offend anyone ...

The most important ones of the expletives that some people find offensive will be automatically translated into something seen as less offensive when you post. Try writing "Bl**dy sh*t! *buntu!" without using asterisks and hit preview. You'll find that you actually seem to have written:

"Bloody brown nuggets! another distro!"

So "bloody" seems to be acceptable.

brown nuggets!


P.S. Hmm ... it doesn't turn back to brown nuggets.

My first impressions of this Forum were confusing; people are actually very helpful
