Default Coarseness of language

There has been a general coarsening of language here on cougarguard, and I can't claim to be free of guilt.

I ask that coarse language be rare, and never gratuitous. We are not of a group that indulges in fashionable vulgarity.

This is a general reminder/warning.

So, if !@#$% is the one word to use in a particular case, then it would be fine to use !@#$%?

Just wanted to be clear.

If you're talking about Snipe or Tex, then yes, it's perfectly fine.

So am I within the bounds of propiety if I refer to someone as a Tex-sucking mother-Sniper?

Mikle mentioned this in a thread today. I agree the language has been coarsening and I think it is time to self-police more rigorously.

I'm elevating you simply by acknowledging you exist.

I endorse this insult. But be advised it's figurative only: I will not permit anyone on this board to suck on anything.

You're right of course. How do I repent for my poll today?

I apologize for referring to the BCS today. I can see how that would be profane.

In deference to my Soonerite, I will refrain from referring to Ducks or Broncos, unless I refer to the Bronco.
