I can swear and curse as nastily as the most foul mouthed people on the planet but it's not really appropriate on a public forum accessible to very young children. To do so shows a lack of moral judgemnet and command of the English language. Nothing riles people more than a polite but eloquently barbed comment.
In a matter as simple as chess, anybody can be eloquent. So why not embrace that option.
You donkeys.

If you were born in a ghetto, and use all that foul language.....it's your prerogative.....but I was born in the hills of West Virginia, and my mom and dad taught me to be good to people, and respect them and myself, but now ...we live in a time where people do not respect others.....or themselves. I am a southern lady, and glad I was born here. Amen! Amen!
But go ahead and curse and swear...it's a free country, but it also shows your ignorance. ;-)

With all due respect, but that's simply not true.
I do have to wonder what the prigs read for relaxation. Just about every literary novel published in the last 20 years is chock full of cussin'.

But it doesn't mean we have to do what everyone else does. Would you go jump off a cliff, just because someone else does? lol

Literary novels published more than 20 years ago? Some of them are worth reading too.
He got a point. You can not even use the word suck in the chat rooms and games of other players and thats just one word example. I said I suck at chess and some warning popped on my screen telling me if I use abusive language again they will mute me. 
i have cussed before on chess.com and i got no warning

And the great bulk of them offended against the standards of their day. What is that one that is supposed to be the best thing since Shakespeare?
Ulysses.
Banned outright for many years.

Banned because it's so unreadable.

In fact, there are lots of great books that weren't. Pushkin, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy... and plenty that were controversial were because of politics.
I don't know who supposes Ulysses to be the best thing since Shakespeare, I've never heard that before. The original books about Ulysses, though, are quite good. And as far as I know weren't considered offensive back when they were written.
I seem to remember a Philip Roth novel, or maybe Gore Vidal where all the "rude" words are replaced with names of US supreme court justices. Sometimes I try to substitute cigarette brand names in my own conversation, on the basis that the habit is filthy
