No more freedom of speech?

Is that why we cant type **** and **** anymore?

So, what type of message does it send?

As if you have anything to say that anyone wants to hear anyway..

Personally, I dont mind cutting out the bad language if their is a good reason for it..

I am not sure I can see one though..

Who are these folk one is trying to impress?

Whats worse, a few swear words, or the vast numbers of completely off-topic and retarded posts?

Let me put to you this way!
If that person or thing doesn't have the stomach or the spine to hear anyone's opinion without sounding off like a crybaby, then maybe they should hit the bricks.
If you can't take what anybody has to say without squealing, then you're no better than pathetic tyrant!

I see your point; I think what we need is a way to convince men to see the light. Perhaps, we should take the path of least resistance; only use resistance and force when it is necessary to do so. If our enemies make a bunch of attacks on us without provocation then what does it say about our enemies?

I mean, men are starting to wake up; now all we need to do is let the feminists reveal their true colors to them. Feminist minded females have done more to ruin their image than we ever could.

Good point HH. Some of the complaints have come from folk who are already members here, but opt to remain lurkers or irregular posters.
Z seems to think he knows who I am referring to, but I suspect he's wrong - this thread is about language and the person I think he's referring to hasn't complained about Z's personal attacks against him... I did. But, some folk think they know better.

All I'm asking is we try to maintain a civil composure. I've always said I prefer to minimize the cursing and removed the "auto-censor" a while back on the understanding it wouldn't get too hefty... but some folks seem to enjoy throwing a few F's & such around on a regular basis.

tell them to be nice , and we'll be nice too. and then we'll all be nice together
on the internet. and then tomorrow is still the same but older

So who are these so called important people that we have to impress?
They're certainly not royalty and have no authority whatsoever to tell anyone how to speak.

Thing is, they have the backing of the state; who do we have backing us?

The first rule of fighting is to pick fights you can win; we can win if we get enough people on our side. We can get decent people on our side if we don't stoop to their level. If they attack us without us doing anything wrong or anything in retaliation it will only show other men just how evil they are. It will make them look bad.

We need to take the high road and allow people that are undecided to see just how despicable feminists and the rest of our enemies are. If we attack them everytime they attack us then there's a probable chance that we'll get blamed because we're men. If they attack us and we focus on the system itself without necessarily attacking them every chance we get then enough people will see that they're hateful enough to attack people without provocation.

When men realize just how bad the situation is many of them will side with us but it will probably fare better for the MRA if they see that we are level headed. It will distinguish us from the feminist movement and then when our numbers are big enough to combat their corruptness, then, and only then, do we become ruthless against the enemy.

Maybe the ones who are hurling those complaints are troublemakers.
Did you ever think of that?

?%*&96! Couldn't be. I'm the only troublemaker here and I didn't make any such complaint!

Hurling?

Hardly...


From the word go - this site didn't rely on bad language. For the first few years it managed to exist without constant references to bad language... On occasion I may have had to ask one or two to calm it down.. and they would... but as ever, give people enough rope and they think the world owes them a favour and their 'rights' are being trampled on when asked to keep within the spirit of the forum.

What did you think was going to happen?
If you plant something, it will eventually grow stronger not weaker!
Or were you in over your head during the conception of this forum?
I'm just asking!
