You seem a little too upset because someone used a bad word.
- Jaruzel 7y agoNo, we try to maintain better standards of dialogue here, and there is rarely a need to curse unless it's a quote from someone/something else.
- switch007 7y agoI checked the guidelines and there is nothing against swearing or "standards of dialogue". FWIW swearing is within my standards of dialogue.
- martin_a 7y agoThis seems to be a funny problem among some people, which also censor and beep each swear word in videos on YouTube or anywhere else. Seems to be some anticipatory obedience that is deeply embedded in some cultures/people.
- dang 7y agoI understand that different people and cultures have very different reactions to it, but profanity per se doesn't violate the HN guidelines.
- gwd 7y agoThe only reason to use a "bad word" is to make people upset. "Swearing is a weak mind trying to express itself forcefully."
