[QUOTE="Mickthevin, post: 9977, member: 4432"] [b]Censorship[/b] As i am sure anybody who has ever had the pleasure (?) of my company for a period of longer than 5 minutes i do swear fairly regularly. In fact i have been known to make foul mouthed navy stokers blush. Perhaps this was due to my upbringing or more likely due to several years serving in her majestys forces in various (un)desirable parts of the globe. Some people like it and some people dont and contrary to popular belief i have an automatic filter built into my brain to reduce said "foul" language in inappropiate circumstances. I appreciate that the filter would have no effect if i posted a comment on the forum as i have no control as to who "hears" it. All i can say is a word is a word and no word has ever offended me and i find it incomprehensible as to how a word could offend somebody. What i do find offensive is people who make comments along the lines of implying i am ignorant because i do swear and therefore have a small vocabulary and have to back my argument with expletives. That is b******s. Democracy will decide and i will live with that. The most upsetting thing i have encountered on this forum occurred last year when i posted a rememberance thread on 11th november.

Well if some tosser wants to make a derogatory comment like that then that is up to him and if it was left in the public domain then everybody could see it and also see what a w****r that person is. I appreciate that this is a motorcycle related forum but given that the average age of club members must be over 65 and i am a generation behind you would have thought that a certain amount of respect would be afforded to those who have fallen on our behalf - even for morons like that.
