why? its not a swear word and its not insulting to anyone (except maybe a bull)

Neither is the M word that rhymes with "boron" but it gets bowdlerised to "nice person" whenever it appears.

I agree, that shouldn't be on the swear filter either ... if I want to call someone a mor ron, Why shouldn't I ?

Why not just call them an

Aussies are ever inventive and have been able to avoid the tender eyes of posters who cringe at the sight of the "f" word. Poor babies.

Kung dam you

F U you is an (incorrect) acronym for bugger you.

Why is there a "swearing filter" on here anyway? If the "f word" upsets you so much ..... go away to some Christian Forum where butter wouldn't melt in their mouths?. Wink

I think that whatever "language" you hear at the local pub should be allowed. Wimmen (and gay blokes) who are too prissy for their shell pinks to hear such stuff should be banned from visiting .... or they could just ACCEPT the Aussie vernacular and turn a blind eye.

We do NOT have to swear, but it is what Aussies do ........

Anyone who doesn't like having their swear words, particularly those F & C words, converted into something less aggressive, then I suggest there is an easy remedy.

Don't use them!

There are also those using this & other forums who don't like it &/or who "shouldn't" be exposed to that sort of language, irrespective of what you may think!

So, just don't use the swear words!

The best Political Forum I was even on was one that had NO MODERATION, whatsoever. You could say what you liked. FREE SPEECH. We MODERATED ourselves. IF someone wanted to swear, they did, if the word was unacceptable, the rest of the Members said so. We were all grown ups.

Filtering swear words that we all learned as primary school children, for goodness sakes, just encourages people to create ways to avoid the "filter".

Remember, as children if we weren't allowed to do something, we found a way, anyhow.

Hold your breath PN. Take a seat. Now.....deep breaths.....

I agree 100% with you! It demonstrates something when people cannot express themselves on a public forum without obscenity or the use of inane emoticons.
