Using curse words can show a lack of intelligence. Soxtalk posters shouldn't need to swear because I know that most of you guys are smart individuals.

At first I was going to say yes, yes, yes! But, the more I thought about it, it really doesn't matter. When you see s***, you know they actually typed the naughty version of poop. And I agree with someone else's post that said having the filter forces more intelligent posts...or at least posts with more thought. What I find strange is that b**** is censored but not piss or asshole.

 

Anyhoo, I like the idea of substituting words. But it would have to be random to keep it fresh. So you'd see posts like "Those darn tootin' White Sox can't win a cottonpicking game it they were given a fudgin' 10 run lead!" or "Pants dammit!".

I say dadgunmmit IRL. True story. I also say the words that are filtered out, a lot. Like all the time.

 

I like the filter though, because I do read this at work, and I don't think it bars any real discourse on baseball among other things.

 

Back on topic:

I agree that it's a good thing to have, and I also use curses as much as I use prepositions. There are times when cursing is entirely inappropriate, and luckily I can control myself, but curses can be very descriptive.

 

There was an episode of Spongebob where they learned curses, but were told that they were "sentence enhancers." That is how I view a curse.

Exactly, some people just don't understand that swears have more...effect.
