inappropriate language

Published Oct. 28, 2009

Hello GOLO:

I am noticing a trend in some of the language being posted in the comments section. Please don't think that masking inappropriate language is okay.

If you write azz, sh*t, mofo, ballz (or some other disgusting variation commonly used by the profession potty-mouth types) and it is reported as abuse, it will be deemed abusive and will count against you.

Please keep that language off of GOLO. 

 

And...I'd also like to take this opportunity to post a reminder about Free Speech, which can be found on my profile page:

 

About Free Speech 

Free speech is a constitutional right designed to keep the federal government from making laws to limit it. It does not mean the public has the right to say whatever it wants on a privately-owned Web site. Our goal is to create an environment for civil and productive community dialogue.  We hope you  will contribute to that goal and have fun along the way!

 

-Angela

Oops, sorry

Hello, Angela. I get it.

Yes, I hated having to type those words but I wanted the offenders to understand I mean them.

It's so funny you can get around curse words like that. I wrote my last name once since I share it with a prominent character in US History. It came up as a violation, I can't type my name in GOLO. lol

Good advice, Angela.

Guilty as charged.....please accept my apology.

Oooopsy. Sorry about the naughty words..... I shall try to control myself.

No need for apologies. I just wanted to give everyone a chance. I do a lot of that around here. Clearly, to a fault as it is largely unappreciated. But that's par for the course. Have a great evening.

I think it is terrible that we can't say ball in the plural. I tried to do a blog once about taking my boys to Jordan Dam after a long bout of rain and was trying to tell everyone how many soccer, soft, basket and tennis ones we found and couldn't even say it. I know why it is there, but that is just a little over the top. I know a few bad apples....

I only try to say crkr
