    I hate him with an alarming immediacy and violence. I'm not sure why. Maybe because he's always taunting me about my lack of femininity, and going on about how women are primarily baby machines and men are primarily learners, doers and creators, which wears on me. I think it's also because judging from his use of language, he has above average intelligence, but all he seems to do with that intelligence is find the most hurtful way to put someone else down.

    It doesn't quite explain the clenched fists and unnecessary autonomic nervous system violence whenever I think of him, though. Maybe my reptilian brain hates him too.

    in public we should not just say anything we feel. people will judge you, and if you dont judge due to language you will judge to due something else. so why judge people who are judging you.

    My opinion is that people should be able to use any word they choose as long as they do not swear at people . Forums are ideas and not a bunch of swearing at one another . The key word is " respect '.

    on forums respect has much less meaning. this is normal human behaviour and tbh...elements are missing. for example, faces and voices.

    honestly, we are typing. this is viewed differently. the reason is that it is not viewed in realtime, as in face to face or phone convo.

    But the rule doesn't mention banning. :shrug:

    E. Language
    Excessive use of vulgar language will initially be edited. Posts that continue this trend will be deleted.

    I remind users that sciforums is supposed to be an intelligent community. That means that when you receive a warning from a moderator not to continue a certain behaviour it just might be an idea not to continue the certain behaviour.

    James, don't send me any more warnings, ok? I don't like warnings.
    If you want to ban me, just go ahead and do it.

    Why IS the word so awful though? Why is dick an everyday word but cunt a terrible shock to the nervous system??

    Why is a word for penis rude-but-normal, but a word for vagina a big shock?

    Are vaginas really that hideous?

    because a dick belongs to a man and is powerful while a cunt belongs to a woman and is nasty. Apparently its so nasty you can get banned for simply typing it

    Why would you type it anyway? It's inappropriate. I don't at all blame the admins and mods for banning it, and in fact they should have stricter control over profanity. Profanity doesn't belong on an intellectual site.

    Yeah, penises are noble and dignified things symbols of power, but vaginas are nasty things akin to a moray eel's mouth.

    Actually, I think I like that. I'm going to refer to my vagina as my 'moray eel's mouth'. It sounds powerful and dangerous.

    Same reason some people use the word dick, I suppose?

    And it has its place, if you are having a reasonable argument, sure, you should pick your fight using ideas and logic rather than curse words. But if someone persists in being unreasonable or rude, sure, why not use the word?
