language

[Tommy]

I posted something about the recent language on the site in another thread then decided to move it here so as not to disrupt that thread. What I want to get across is that we have a lot of members now and they are young and old, male and female. I am not the type of guy that gets upset when I hear by-words and unneccesary language but I also have made it a point since childhood not to use that language myself. The main thing is I hope that the members here will take others into consideration when they print curse words and obscene language that may be read by kids or women or people like myself that really just prefer not to have those words bouncing around in thier brain. I Hope anyone that reads this understands where I am coming from and will try to use some restraint when using colorful adjectives.

YOU GOT IT Mr. Tommy !!! :D


NO more Mr. Rotten.... from now on only sweet thoughtfull considerate MEAN ROTTEN OGRE DADDY !!! ;) :D






Johnny (i can do that for ya'll) :D

[SuperSport]

You have my support Tommy. Unfortunately, when we Mod's act on some things the membership goes all ape on us.
I think you are correct in feeling the way you do but, it can only happen if every member decides to be more respectful. That might be a hard thing to do' but I do support you.

[1qwikss]

i agree with you there Tommy.
i remember as a boy my dad would curse sometimes but my
mom always said that cursing was a sign of lack of knowledge
of anything more intelligent to say and it has stuck with me
ever since, though i admit to cursing while driving alone sometimes.

LOL.....Yes....but only while driving right?:D

Tommy

I appreciate you posting this. I find this site to be exceptionally family friendly for the most part. That is why I like it here so much...

There is just the odd exception.

[mrrepodude]

count me in !!!

[DriveWFO]

Oh bullcucky :D

[novanutcase]

I guess I would have to admit that I am kind of guilty of that(Is that like being "Kind of Pregnant?) so Tommy thank you for having brought that to my attnetion and I will try and be respectful of you and all the other members wishes!:)

[bluehat]

Sign me up too! :)

[tpinovaII]

Excellent point. Count me in. I promise to try to behave in a civil manor and keep a civil tongue. At least while I'm on the site. :D

['69Novajoe]

Mega-dittos!!:D :D

[CdnL79 Registry]

I'm with you, Tommy!

Yes, a good idea. I think that is what "makes us different" from alot of the other sites out there. This is an OUTSTANDING site in all avenues. Let's all keep up the good work.

[2 black ragtops]

i won't use the "bad words " any more,but i still might "think" them!!!!
point taken.
thanks,
carl.

Well, I've never been one to follow along with the group so I guess, HEY do what you will if it's what you want. But I am going to keep being ME because thats who I am.

Besides, I've seen the crap scratched into the lockers in the schools. I've seen what the kids are wearing, writing, saying these days. What they are watching on "their" TV shows, video games, the "teen" magazines.

IMO this site is pretty clean, but maybe some are trying to get a little too conservative about it.:confused:

I'm gona have to agree with ya Jonsey.:eek:
When your just sittin around shootin the you know what, don't want to offend, I don't see that as a problem.
I guess I'm just not that sensitive to words that have no real meaning.

[the FLYER]

i think it's the context the words are used that makes the difference...

[stephenzone]

when i used to come back off of long trips on the ships i really had to watch my language for a couple of weeks. ie please pass the **** potatoes. but with my wife being a elementary teacher, i find the old swear words are blending into normal speech (the old classics still stand - sorry George Carlin) and some of the new swear words, i just look at her and go HUH. We will be talking and she will inform me that what i've just said is something that is considered a swear word. i'm not gonna give examples it just stuff that i've noticed. I think it is enviroment and slang of the generations.

[NIGHTSHADE]

I'm gona have to agree with ya Jonsey.:eek:

You know that is a site rule violation. :D

[the FLYER]

You know that is a site rule violation. :D

BAN BAN BAN !!! ;)

[Nwayne]

You know that is a site rule violation. :D

If it sin't it should be!:rolleyes:

[Nwayne]

BAN BAN BAN !!! ;)

That should have been done a long time ago.:D
Plus it would keep me from spending any more money.

[the FLYER]

Naw, neither you nor me... maybe JEFF !!! :eek: :eek: :eek: ;) :D :D :D

[Nwayne]

Naw, neither you nor me... maybe JEFF !!! :eek: :eek: :eek: ;) :D :D :D


Naw, Jeff's not a bad fellow he's just constipated!:D
I'd love to stay and play but some of us have to go to work! #@$#&&#%$:D

[stephenzone]

BAN BAN BAN !!! ;)

i'm gonna have to make sure my beaumont doesn't play with your novas, you boys play rough:beat:

[XINLOI44]

I must AGREE WITH TOMMY, all tho I may be as guilty as the next at times. If I see something that is out right obvious, I will edit. Thats just me, and maybe I will have to edit Jeffy. :eek:


Don

[NIGHTSHADE]

Thats just me, and maybe I will have to edit Jeffy. :eek:

FEEL FREE.:confused:

[Bobs72nova]

Puttin myself on 7 second delay.
I will try to do better!

[simmondj]

Ditto :) :)

So THATS why I curse so much......I shouldve guessed it was something like that :p

[admin]

Tommy,
Thank you!

[yellowbeard]

I'm with you.

[DANNO]

I've also noticed all of the "creative" ways people spell their profane words to get around the unacceptable word filter. If it won't pass the filter, it means that Steve has placed that word on the list. Surely people here are intelligent and polite enough to say what they mean using acceptable words. ;)

[the FLYER]

i ALWAYS try ta be creative when i wanna cuss ;)


i'll try ta curb my artistic creativity too ;)

Doh!:( I'm busted!:o

[NIGHTSHADE]

I actually don't mind it, as long as it is not meant to be outright hurtful. Our society is a very color full thing, without all the different personalities we would have a very drab planet. Voicing ones opinion and practicing ones beliefs are a very bountiful thing. But trying to force others to follow your own beliefs is not.

[CDJr]

We DO think alike, Jonesy ;)

Be careful, I think that there might be a rule somewhere that says the you can't agree with me.:D

You can post your beliefs without using profane language.
Yes, I am guilty of writing mild profanities but, I could also get the massage across without using them.
A warning to all:
If you come to my garage to have a couple of cold ones, I cuss.
I know I should behave.

Shady that was well put.I Like Steves Site,but would not like Living in a world like Steves site.It is a little to PC here.But you have heard Me talk and know how I am.

Mar, you are very correct. But as for me, I am who I am. I type the way that I talk. Alot of my mispelled words are that way on purpose because of my pronounciation translating to type. If we were face to face and you didn't swear, I wouldn't expect or ask you to do so just to benifit me, also I wouldn't change the way I talk if you asked me to. I am my own person and lived a portion of my life where I was told how to do everything, that ain't ever gonna happen again.

The force here is Steve. It is a private site and he has established certain rules. If you can't follow them, don't post.

If you visited my house and were, as you put it, "colorful", you would not be invited back. If you were colorful around me at your house, that would be your prerogative, and I'd probably overlook it. The bottom line is, this is Steve's house, not an outhouse.;) ;)

The Old This is Steves Sand Box,Play by his Rules or dont Play.Well,I have never Read the Rules .If I get Banned it will just be time to move on.Sometimes Moderators are like Barney Fife with a Whistle.

Well, you know where the door is, Joe.

I did admit earlier that in my garage around my buds I/we cuss.
But, I have to admit when I go into someone elses house out of respect, I don't. It's not that hard to do.
Steve said welcome to my house these are the rules.

I have been a bad guest. I will try and be better.
What kind of guest are you?;)

[1965proSTREET]

one thing that is possibly being overlooked here is the fact that words and comments can be rude, degrading, and outright disrespectful whether they are cuss words or not...sometimes we should just think a little more before we type so that things wont get taken out of context...

[62civa]

I think Super Sport hit the nail on the head. Think of it as being at Steves House. He and the Mods provide one of the greatest sites around and we all need to show them some respect. Though my work, I use another unrelated site that has no mods......it gets completely out of control every single day. People telling each other to $^%^%^%# all the time. They show a total lack of respect towards each other. Steves site is great. Thanks Steve!

[CDJr]

Is it still OK if I curse to myself while Im typing a post? Like when I cant think of anything intelligent to say? :awkward:

[chevynuts88]

The lack of ability to express oneself intelligently

[wolfen]

OK....I'm getting worried:eek:

I posted here in support of the site rules and to back up my"big bro Danno", but my post disappeared:( Did it get deleted for any special reason:confused:

[DANNO]

Hmmm. I saw it here, Wolfie. Thanks. Where it went, I know not. :confused:

[SuperSport]

The lack of ability to express oneself intelligently
When I slip that is the first thing I think of.

[tsimpson]

For the sake of the people on this site, just refrain from using language that is inaproppriate for this site. It's that simple. It's called respect. I also use language that I shouldn't, But not around people that may be offended.
Just think before you post:D Hope nobody got offended by my comments JMO

[TXWagon]

An interesting exchange of ideas going on here.

Does this mean it is time to take the BS out of 'The BS Area' forum?

Consider changing it to 'The BM Area'. BM, for bovine manure.

Yes, I know. Like my old man always says... 'Don't be a smart-alec, boy!'.

[63chevytoo]

I personally avoid sites where I have to endure the outward signs of stupidity. This is the only site, to my knowledge, that one can visit without the trash mouthing.

It is just as easy to say a good word as it s a bad one.

Remember that what comes from a persons mouth comes from its source. (The heart... That's who we really are)

[brickyardboy]

I can remember as a kid that a popular comeback when given the "bird" was "Is that your age or IQ?" When using inappropiate language on a forum such as this, whether it's off-color, obscene, racial, etc., only shows the immaturity and bad judgment of the individual that posted it. You're not talking to one individual here, but many people of varied interests and backrounds. Some young, some old, male as well as female, Christians as well as non-Christians, and your wording may not be acceptable to all. Try to picture yourself on a stage in front of many strangers. You don't know any of them personally, but, unless your intent is less than honorable, you try to come across as an intelligent, articulate speaker, so that everyone can enjoy the topic. I guess what I'm saying, is that one should show the same respect and consideration on this board, that he would talking to his mother, wife, and kids.

[slickman]

Right on man.. :)

[acd65post]

I think this is a great family site.I do not hesitate to log on with my 13 year old next to me.Yes I know he is old enough to know better (so is my 16 year old ) but I like to lead by example and I know I can depend on this site for being "clean".
The other thing that I would ask is that the links not be posted for "porn on ebay".I appreciate knowing that some idiot is putting crap on ebay,as I often check out the cars for sale with my boys.

Thanks everyone !

Those we do try and catch right away. But some slip by, just poke the report post Icon and then we'll get them.

[662door]

well i have to say that some people can be a bit picky but i agree that this is a nice clean site and i will try to hold my tounge around those of you with big brains and fancy words ;)

I think you'll find that everyone will appreciate it, including those with the big words and fancy brains.;)

[GordoAcadian]

I work in an enviorment where swearing is part of "normal" conversation, but it dosn't come home with me. I never swear in front of my wife or son. In fact when my son was 5 and he dropped the F-bomb:rolleyes: in front of my 80 year old mother:eek: we asked him where he heard it - he said " Mommy says it all the time when shes driving!" So they are now called " Mommy driving words"
