This is why we can't have nice things

[Addicting]

Sorry you have to deal with it. It’s generally a good place with a lot of knowledge.

 

[Dave N]

It's one thing to use it in a verbal conversation, but here you actually have to type it out!

I've been moderated. It doesn't hurt, except the shame of knowing you've disappointed Fin & co.

I still bear that shame.

Many moons ago, a guy named Oscar made me a forum moderator. Man that was fun. I had real talent at getting people really mad at each other. It didn't take long before my privileges were revoked for the abuse of power.

 

[BoulderBulls]

Thanks for doing what you do Mr. Fin. Like others have chimed in this corner of the internet is much better for it. Much appreciated.

I appreciate the forum, Mr Newberg, and all that are helpful on here!! That being said, I can’t wrap my head around the fact that adults can’t handle F-Bombs…….!? It takes two, and to Get into DIGITAL altercations with people and REPORT them?!? Jeeeesh quit telling on folks.. that’s what’s 4th grade…. “He called me a ‘F&*#£€ Brat’” WAAAAAH

Trying to think of all the combinations which could trip me up:
Made a long list which I deleted cuz my set withdrew.

Sometimes I open my mouth and words fall out. I think to myself "Damn that sounded like me!" My vocabulary isn't the greatest at times but using the written word I have used abbreviations for emphasis. The last thing I want is to be sent down the road or even worse have the forum cease to exist because I was that last straw. Lastly, I would never want to unintentionally post something that offended anyone.

Before grandchildren I spoke spontaneous construction fluently....since, I admonish my own kids for cursing around theirs.
Drives me nuts to hear the crude crap I taught em...

Disagreement with “whomever”? Sure
Escalation into a full on typing argument? Comical
Having an adult have to step and send someone to their room? Embarrassing

I’m sure M&M Finn have MUCH better things to do with their lives

Yup I learned to speak logger at a VERY early age. That being said, I rarely resulted to writing it out

I’m just glad the first time my oldest said sh!t it was right after my wife slipped and said it.

Multiple generations of agriculture, hard rock mining, railroads, and construction all falling on my boys and their impressionable vocabularies. And a knuckle dragger dad to boot…

Been getting a bit fast and loose with my lexicon...

 

[Gerald Martin]

“A modicum of respectability, gentlemen” seems to be a mutually agreeable expectation we all have.

It’s the definition of “gentleman” and “respectability” that seems to be in flux at times among participants with different perspectives.

20 years and no report to owner or moderator. I need to step up my game.

Bunch of "snowflakes".

What's really eye opening to me, I expect course language while working in the field and used to (wrongly) believe it wasn't the same in office settings.

I was dead wrong about that...wow.

I wouldn't beat yourself up over the construction talk, they're going to hear it one way or the other.
