Bitcoin Forum

I am not sure if it bothers only me or you all too, some members in the forum think they are somehow superior than you and do not hesitate to use offensive language. I feel like....

Here are some examples...




These are just some examples I was able to bring up for you real quick. I will update this post with more threads with offensive language so that these members start learning that people do get offended by their language and it needs to be fixed. Can we behave and respect others to make this forum a better place?

PS: Feel free to comment here with the link of any thread that was offensive for you.

I hope the authority will find those posts and take any necessary steps to stop it if they think they need to.

Fuck off.  ;D

Grow a thicker skin. They're only words. I think there are far bigger (and worse) things to get offended about.

Or far bigger problems that need to be solved here.

Agreed.  Signature managers paying trolls and farmed accounts to spam while they try to pass the blame to the end users is a much bigger issue.

Although you have to wonder what type of advertiser would pay users who use language like that to represent them...  It's a red flag to me.

No. People like you ruined it  in the first place and now you want to "make it a better place". Yeah right.

Fuck you op. Get a life this isn't pre school

This forum is bitchin'  ;D

This is a global forum after all, so you should expect that there will be offensive people for the likes of you who makes a big deal about it even though they don't mean it that way. It's just that in their side, it is easier to express their feelings talking that way.

Moderators don't give a damn to such petty things like this, so move on and don't bother updating your thread.

Look at any of mine, I throw fucks about like confetti at a wedding.



So you're not just a prig, you're a hypocritical, sanctimonious prig.

Fuck yeah! I'm honored to be associated with such notorious contributors to this forum - TMAN, Betfair, TMAN (again), it's truly my privilege to be associated alongside your vile posts.


And this is a fucking brilliant idea...let's use this thread to post the most offensive posts we come across. It can be a gallery of Notorious B.O.Ps...(bitchin' original posts!)


Keep the change, you filthy animals!

I believe I am well-qualified to speak on this subject:  For I have never used what some people call a “bad word” anywhere on this forum, except either (0) within an accurate quotation of what was said by somebody else, or (1) in an anatomically correct, literal sense when engaged in sexual activity [NSFW] (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2965530.0).

This doesn’t mean that I be shy, much less that I be averse to conflict.  Pardon my French, but au contraire!  Why, I am the only forum member ever to have received +50 for an insult, as a shriek from the target of the insult (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2854290.msg29320411#msg29320411).  My pen is my sword!

So, why don’t I use so-called “bad words”?

I take it as a challenge to express such things as anger and contempt with destructive creativity.  I believe that this is why my flames and insults are so effective:  I think insults through; I aim at the substance of my object of derision; and I know how to hit where it hurts, not just toss off a “f— you”.

I might call this the difference between Catullus and Cicero.  Besides being a brilliant satirist in his own right, Catullus is remembered as a fun bawdy; he wrote Latin poetry (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catullus_16) wherein he threatened to “arsefuck and facefuck” people who criticized his poems.  (TMAN, for shock factor alone, I think I found your second-favourite classical poet—your favourite being the eminent Sappho of Lesbos, but of course.)  Whereas Cicero’s tongue was so sharp that after he was murdered by traitors against Rome, his enemy Fulvia tore out his tongue and stabbed it with her hairpin in symbolic hatred for the power of his words.  I have a healthy respect for Catullus—as did Ovid; but I aspire to be more a Cicero, myself.  Oh, Cicero would get daily +50s for Senate-floor flaming!

Also, I like sex; and with the exception of “shit”, all the strongest contemporary English-language “bad words” are sexual in nature.  Why would I say “fuck you” to someone I wouldn’t fuck with a ten-foot pole?  Speaking of figurative ten-foot poles, I am proud of my dick and its functionality; thus, I don’t find “dick” to be an efficacious insult.  So, too, as for cunts, which are lovely and tasty.  Cunts are desirable (except unto those like Wendigo, who is freaked out by them (https://web.archive.org/web/20180221090649/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=782844.msg8834822#msg8834822)).  I wouldn’t confuse matters by calling an undesirable person a “cunt”.

Now, I fully understand that most people absorb the definition of “bad words” from the society around them; and at their psychological roots, “bad words” grow from the subjective taboos of society as a whole.  In some past times, those taboos were oath-breaking (dishonour) and blasphemy.  Society has really gone downhill in recent centuries (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2904304.msg29894317#msg29894317); and nowadays, sex is worse than breaking one’s most sacred vows, promises, and commitments.  (Parenthetically, I urge people to look around and consider the effects of this shift in taboos.)

I myself just always tended more than most to reject the society around me, and seek a better society.  Wherefore also my ideological attraction to Bitcoin.

But I am not stupid; and I won’t play stupid, as do some high-handed academicians.  I know full well that when TMAN does—that awesome TMAN shock-insult thing, he’s not literally deploying sexual language toward people he despises.  He’s applying the psychological hammerstroke of violating a social taboo.  And the taboo he so oft hits is evidently more sacred in the eyes of “mdayonliner” than basic honesty, wherefore “mdayonliner” whines about this:


The minor point is bemusement that you find the word “clowns” to be offensive.

The major point is that you are complaining about the thread and the post wherein Betfair stepped forward to provide evidence for cracking down on the “single worst case of merit abuse anywhere on the forum (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2964183.msg30598830#msg30598830)”.  Betfair helped smash up a ring of forum criminals (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2964183.msg30897085#msg30897085); Betfair did a good deed in substance (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2964183.msg30849396#msg30849396).  You complain of his style?  Tell me, are you in any way peeved that #1076869 “pitipawn” got roasted?  Why else would you whine about the word “clowns”?

Or are you a clown yourself?  Tell me, do you use Ethereum (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2385104.msg29421433#msg29421433)?


Wait, I am confused.  Is my name offensive to you?


Happy to oblige:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3013604.0


“The authority”?  Which one?  Do you mean, the management of Bitcoin?  A complaint about “bad words” was already raised to the attention of the management of Bitcoin, in a thread which offers (gasp) possibly naked gambling (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2966705.0):


“mdayonliner”, I am so happy to have found your soulmate for you.  Now...

---

P.S., to demonstrate what I mean about how I don’t elide vulgarity when I am making an accurate quotation of somebody else:


P.P.S.—“mdayonliner”, you’re a poopy-headed clown.

Edit, P.P.P.S.:  Sadly, this being the Internet, I believe I ought explain the subject line.  It translates idiomatically, “I will arsefuck and facefuck you, faggot ‘mdayonliner’”.  Paraphrased from Catullus 16, the easy-wiki page for which is linked above.  I intend the verbs only in a figurative sense; my ten-foot pole will stay far away from you, though I do suspect that the taboo substantive may be literally applicable.  Now, have fun fuming at me for having used the words “arsefuck”, “facefuck”, and “faggot” in a paraphrase of a famous classical poem.

nullius, you are so fucking classy.

@mdayonliner

You need to spend some more time here. Try reporting some shitposters and soon you gonna use all these "stress-releasing" words you feel offended by.

@nullius

You have to write a book man, I'll be the first to buy. I wish I had more time to read your work of art but...

@alia

Merit: 105... Hope I didn't miss something ... infographic :P

[\Off topic]

I fucking love you.

I just read an article about snow flakes and I wasn't sure they are for real (I don't live in US or UK). I guess this answered my question.
Political correctness will kill us all if we let it grow more than it is already.

We can add to that trusted and experienced Campaign Managers being forced to go along in scammy ICOs.

@nullius well written you are also a good writer you probably welding a double edge pen/sword.

@O.P you can also use foul words whenever you see fit no one will ever prevent you for doing so except yourself.

Personally, I do not like the use of abusive language on the forums as well. But this is internet and you will always meet different type of people here with different maturity levels. In case, you feel that certain user is repeatedly abusing other users , you may try reporting this to admin. But the posts you quoted made use of words like clowns and all and were used in general. This much can be tolerated in my opinion.

I have never used offensive language on this forum even once. I think I am this kind of person. I have sometimes a burning desire to throw few f...s left and right but I can always stop myself and be polite even during quarrels.

There is nothing in forum rules about bad language. I just checked again and found nothing so I think this is just allowed.

this forum seems like giving zero fuck to bad language , for this its becoming a garbage.

I was born in the wrong era. Everybody these days seems to be a little bitch, political correctness is rife, everybody gets offended about the slightest thing.

Fuck off OP, get a life.

I would say a larger problem is people reading a title and not absorbing the threads content. This can lead to bumping a thread that has been inactive for 8 months, and adding nothing of value.


Would being able to liberally use every slur whether racial/sexual in nature really be worth not being around for BTC.

I believe members should be circumspect in their elocution

Foul vernacular is not coruscating.

You really cannot expect everyone to behave in the way you feel is right, trolls happen everywhere,everyday and you shouldn't expect less on a public forum with diverse individuals.

I do not think this has affected the forum in any way neither will it, if anyone cant stand trolls,simply ignore threads were users troll,or if it's an excessive troll you report it to the moderators

Never judge a book.....

It's not a problem in my opinion. People become to sensitive nowadays and they get offended too easily. Sometimes offensive words are really needed to express our feelings, offcourse, it's not good to overuse it. You want to say that you're not using such words in your life? If yes, I don't believe you. Our minds shouldn't be censored and sterile.
Personally, I rarely use offensive words in this forum because it's not my style. But sometimes I feel that I'm behaving too much politely here, like Bitcointalk would be an official environment.
P.S.
See this post:

This post is just offensive words and nothing more. Maybe such posts isn't something what we need, but in this context it made me laugh :D

That post made me chuckle as well, and I'd say that it was some well-placed profanity, i.e., it was perfect in its context.

I used to use foul language on bitcointalk a lot more than I used to, though I just made a post today that wasn't exactly clean.  Vod always says small minds use profanity, and although I disagree because the statement is too broad, I do think swearing a lot on a discussion forum gets very old very fast, and I try to limit my F bombs and other bad words.  I'm generally not trying to irritate more people than I already do. 

That said, I always find TMAN's profuse profanity extremely funny.  I think I may have posted that already in this thread, but I'm too lazy to check.  He manages to curse in a humorous way, which may offend some snowflakes and may be against the rules, but I'm cool with that.

There's no such thing as "bad language," there is only bad people, and language.

I would say people who tirelessly promote "passive income" schemes are probably worse than people who use swear words, as a whole.

Fuck off cunt.

You have no idea how tempted I am to take the bait--but if I do, one of two things is going to happen:  you'll be strangled by my nutsack wrapped five times over around your windpipe, or I'll get my post deleted.  Thus I will spare us both the potential indignities and cease writing now.  This is one of the times I don't trust myself around a keyboard.

Edit:
And there'll still be enough left to give you the nuclear purple mushroom cloud treatment.

heh pussy.

top 10 ever insult there.

Was trying to demonstrate how much fun can be had without actually using curse words.

*Gets 10 merits*

Hey, is this some of that jerkle-circusing merit sources and senior members keep getting accused of?  Keep this up and they might start accusing us of being homer-sensual preverts.  Once I finish cleaning up the nocturnal emissions from my linens (my fault, not yours), can we get this thread back on track?

Who is accusing who of what exactly? can you be more precise? I am not sure that I get your meaning? That doesn't sound like a very nice thing to be "accused" of for no reason at all. Are you being accused yourself ? are you one of these senior members someone is accusing of something?  Is this worthy of a thread or are you happy to just whine about it all over the place to people you consider a suitable audience. I would take your concerns to other boards. Maybe try bitcoin discussion or alt coin discussion or some board most users might give you some real feedback. I don't think echo chambers are the best place to keep sniping about it.

Come I will "help" you prove that your posts in particular are crammed full with infallible "logic", sound reasoning, free from all contradictions, "exemplary" morals. I will help you prove without doubt you are "deserving" of those merits and there are no grounds at all for this cycling merit groundless nonsense. We have time machine evidence too on our side.

 We can easily count on a DT member, merit source and "senior member" like you to dispel any such accusations in no time I am "confident" in this.

What do you say? or should you just forget about it all and stop sniping on about it still?

This is a straight up offer of assistance no shit. I will put lots of effort in for you. This is not a joke or insincere gesture. If you think you have been accused of something and there is no corroborating evidence that is observable by all then we should put them right, they will have no choice but to stop saying it because they will just be demonstrating they can not interpret the evidence correctly that we have provided for public analysis. I think this could redeem the entire merit system actually and make a good case for the fact it is more accurate that I had previously suspected of representing post value and the users fine character.

Let me know when you are ready to start .... you can count on my "support". I'll check back later to get the go ahead to start compiling a case for us to present as soon as I hear or send me a PM - no foul language though i don't think it will aid our case and the entire forum would be a better place without it but trying to stick to that at times can be difficult.


p.s sorry to hear the colostomy bag ruptured  during the night :( 

I think that is just normal and this is a forum and there is no need to be formal because again this is a forum.. Many people are used with using foul languages and we cannot remove it some people find it funny and some find it as a superiority and they really don't care because even if they say some bad language people would never know who the hell is that person because they are just using an ID... soo all you have to do is to have a transparent mind and think that this is only a forum and don't make it personal..  :D :D :D

Fuck you everyone and Merry Christmas  ;D
