Do you class swearing as the norm?

How noble. I swear to anyone who deserves to hear it. Gender doesn't come into it. I usually don't swear in front of anyone, but sometimes you find yourself surrounded by people who do, often women, and so I indulge and join the profanity party.
Personally I think many care far too much about how something is said, as opposed to what is being said.
I find a person with repellent views far more unsavoury than somebody who is palatable overall, but expresses themselves poorly. Swearing is something in the UK we have the ability to do & at times sound somewhat sophisticated. Let's not waste this gift.

So are you saying forum rules are not legitimate ?
Legitimate as in conforming to the Rules of this Forum. They are NOT swearwords in disguise. You will see what you want to see.
Say this loud.. 'Wear the fox hat.' What do you hear?
lol. I don't think you're fooling anyone my friend. It was clear what your pun was. I'm betting a mod deletes it.

Then in the interests of fairness they should also remove everything that sounds or looks like a swearword...Where do you draw the line?

I leave the 'line drawing' to the mods.
Yes i do consider swearing as normal, however there are times where its appropriate and times when it is not.
It depends on whose company i am in, i tailor my vocabulary to the situation.
In work i am known to create entire sentences of swear words(ok maybe a bit of an exaggeration).
At home, really only when i am angry trying to make a point or trying to exaggerate something.
With the parents, even at 30 years only i'd never think about swearing in front of my mother, my father on the other hand thats a different story.

Do all these deletions mean that we're not allowed to talk about a certain Kenny Everett character without fear of bannage?
BUT IT'S ALL IN THE BEST POSSIBLE TASTE!

I swear too much, especially when i am annoyed. Don't even notice it when i watch a video with swearing in it, unless i look out for it.

Swearing doesn't affect me, just a word in my eyes.
Coming from a younger generation, i can see how it can be deemed offensive to people older than me though.

Anyone below 30 it is the way nowadays. I HATE it as I find it disrespectful.
That's the way the countries going and it isn't immigrants or anything... it's the way people have been raised wrong.
I have visited other countries far and near and the culture is SO much better!
I want Britain to be Great again... :'(
Maybe I'm old fashioned.... and I'm only 33 so I'm stuffed...
