:::::::Absolutely fucking nothing conveys anger; absolutely nothing does not. And no, disliking profanity does not make you immature, but it's rather selfish of you to push for a discouragement on profanity just because you don't like it. If you don't like swear words, nobody said you had to use them, but don't take them away from the rest of us. Regardless, I do respect your "I'll back down if this isn't what the Wiki wants" attitude. Certain other users should stick to that more often.

::::::::Keep in mind that it is just as selfish of you to push not discouraging profanity. You disagree with me; there's nothing wrong with that. I'm only here to help, not to flame or insult anybody. You're a rollbacker, so you must have done something to help the wiki, and for that I do respect your opinion.

:::::::I think Semicolon argues this well, when he responded to a proposal to restrict profanity (proposed by none other than me, 3 years ago): | |||
:::::::"There's a whole bunch of reasons why we shouldn't. Among them is that freedom of expression is something we value here on Smashwiki. Another reason is that what use is it to 'control' people's words? If I have to say 'flip' instead of fuck, what are you changing? You're changing a sequence of sounds that's completely arbitrary to the meaning. If it's the negative emotion that you are trying to keep away from yourself, then you're extremely naïve. If it's the combination of the sounds that make up the word fuck that you're afraid of, you're a retard. I'm going to assume you're not a retard, and it's the negative expression that you don't like. 1) Grow up. 2) Changing the word doesn't change the capacity to express negative emotions. 3) If we all start saying 'flip' and 'crap' and 's word' and 'witch' instead of what they really mean then we sound like a bunch of tools and immature 8 year olds who have sensitive ears. We're not changing the language policy." | |||
