knightni Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 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!".

MattZakrowski Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 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.

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.
