I don't judge on how much someone swears. I judge on how much they make sense, and that post made absolutely no sense.
I do judge by how much swearing people do; at least on a moral level. I am sorry if none of you have any morals, but where I come from, swearing is "wrong". You just don't do it.

Swearing doesn't cause degrading of intelligence. Swearing *CAN* be an indication that the person has poor vocabulary. Some people just swear to jest, and that is perfectly fine. When you constantly use those words as a means to communicate, it makes you look like a fool.

Also, if you looked up the word intelligence, you wouldn't see vocabulary anywhere in there. Vocabulary != Intelligence

Argon swearing is a sign of emotion...

True gangsta fuck daddy might abuse it but....

As for the editing everything but the assylum I don't believe that is an option. I have never really broken down vb and ****ed with it for long periods of time, but I have messed around with the admin panel, and help to run vb sites through the admin panel.

You keep twisting what you're saying. I don't care whether vocabulary is equal or not equal to intelligence. I know it isn't. You said that:
But when I start seeing excessive swearing in ANY document I am reading, I instantly assume the person is not very smart.
Sorry if I misinterpereted what you said, but that quote's pretty straight-forward. Seems pretty hard to misinterperet.

I had that very same picture (though a little smaller than that) as my avatar overhere after the caveman. Then I got this one, because I got a PM saying my... 'taste'... for avatars was unapropriate...

Yes. You heard right. That is how I think.

I assume on the spot the person isn't very smart. It is in my nature to do so, and you can sue me for it.

Remove the swearing filters in the asylum, but no where else. This is a gaming forum, plain and simple.

Okay, whatever. It's really not worth arguing over since it's unlikely to change. Do whatever with the swearing filter.
