Default [OT] Use of foul language in this ng



Martin Rowley wrote in message ...
For many years, this newsgroup has muddled along quite well without the
use of foul language. In recent months, that seems to have changed. I
know this doesn't seem to be a popular view nowadays, but I (and I
believe others) find its use offensive in the extreme. It should not be
necessary to make a scientific point without swearing.


I'll tell you what some posts make me bite my tongue hard sometimes.

But you're right it shouldn't be necessary to swear really. I usually know I've
won an argument when opponents start swearing or start slagging me off
personally.

Will.
