( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

tye has made a good point that everyone should cooperate to keep the language used here professional, but unless we start seeing profanity everywhere, we don't need to discuss a "solution" because the "problem" does not really exist. Telling people not to curse on the CB seems to work just fine; it's not like it happens all the time. The worry is more that people who visit the Monastery from workplaces that have filtering installed will no longer be able to participate in our community.

People who are that sensitive should either install a filtering proxy, or unplug all their electronic devices and stay at home. As far as I'm concerned, the only kind of language that offends be is language that tries to steal others' dignity---and that kind of language does not have to include any of the words you (used to) get fined for when you use them on the radio:

He's a complete imbecile who probably needs help to tie his shoes in the morning. What a pathetic waste of genetic material!

In sum, what one person considers unacceptable can be perfectly normal and even de rigeur for someone else. As long as cursing is kept at a low level, there is no need to institute any kind of "solution" at the community level.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
