And that was probably because they assumed you were a white straight Male and a troll right?
hahaha
Snip
One country to the next, or one century to the next, what words are considered swears can change drastically. So can the degree to which those swears are considered socially acceptable. That makes defining a hard line against all profanity really difficult and potentially foolish, because one individual's idea of profanity isn't going to be the same as someone else's.

Ahh.. true (to the bolded words... that's me). However, I believe that people living in "that century" ought to abide by their social codes.
Don't you think so? Meaning that foul words may change overtime but the social mores pertaining to their general use doesn't, even through centuries.

I'm a straight white male, and I've never had a single warning point. Dat privilege in action yo!

"Triumvirate" suggests there are two others.
But Evil doesn´t share.
This is kind of ridiculous. This is the second time I've had my post deleted in this thread, and I didn't swear either time. The second post didn't even have anything that vaguely resembled swearing in it. It was (and this is unusual for me) a perfectly innocent post. I think the mods are breaking down completely. Someone needs to reboot their mainframe.

Now, now, I was complimenting them on their efficiency. How could that be anything but innocent?
I've had a warning for putting a quote from the game in.
Heya Guys,
This topic has probably been discussed before, but I was just curious about your opinions. Some games, and I won't explicitly mention them to avoid Bioware vs. Rest debates, use language which is considered more mature (aka swearing). I personally tend to swear a lot when I'm frustrated, so am glad if I see my character express his/her frustrations in a similar manner. For instance a more renegade type of character would, in my humble opinion of course, be more likely to swear than a paragon character who would probably opt for more diplomatic language. However especially in the stressful situations we're bound to end up in, I can imagine my character yelling out an insult or two.
I'm not necessarily arguing that Bioware is severely lacking in the mature language department, but I couldn't help but feel a great sense of joy when my Inquisitor asked whether 'things could stay (profanity removed, free warning point received) fixed for one second', which I didn't have that often in Bioware games.
What do you guys think? Does swearing equal more mature language? Or should it be avoided?

There are advantages to having more people working with you...
This whole discussion is centered around the fact that many of us disagree with the social code. We need a better reason to not use swear words than "its what society dictates." That what's considered a swear word changes over time makes the social code seem all the more arbitrary.<<<<<<<<<<(0)>>>>>>>>>>

Sounds like a fun drinking game.
Knock a White Russian back every time The Dude has one.
I have no warning points! of course, it's still early for me..

Pretty much, which is why I think that if folks are so offended by a curse word, they shouldn't look at M rated things.
I mean the onus should be on that minority to not deliberately expose themselves to something that will have content they disagree with, the onus should not, and never be on its producers to make a scaled down version of that product minus it.

I already do that. However, what this thread asks is my (ie our) opinion on part of said content, and I would prefer it to be removed.
That's nice, but I'll promptly ignore that opinion along with the majority of the world.

And I think people shouldn't be shouted down or ridiculed for expressing an opinion or providing feedback based on their preferences.

No, it doesn't.
Disagree all you want. Disagree vigorously. have a spirited debate. Point out why the person is wrong. Or just ignore the person.
But show a little courtesy.
I've been punched down on these forums enough over the years not to wish it on anyone.

If someone came in and asked that the games include no fewer than 4 unicorns as companions I would treat that request with all the respect it is due, none,
