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....
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].
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. 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 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). 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; 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:
why dont mods do nothing for these clowns?
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”. Betfair helped smash up a ring of forum
criminals; Betfair did a good deed in substance. 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?
Please use this as a reference for any more bitching and moaning, tell people to step up the game to be more like nullius...
Wait, I am confused. Is my name offensive to you?
PS: Feel free to comment here with the link of any thread that was offensive for you.
Happy to oblige:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3013604.0I hope the authority will find those posts and take any necessary steps to stop it if they think they need to.
“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:. An awful way of earning such Bitcoin, doing something so different in the world of Bitcoin with the Very down reputation, doing monkey business online. The management of Bitcoin should come up to restrict some Words in this forum. As we join this site from the Very start in a just good manner. Our childrens also once joining for what we call mining in advertising Bitcoin projects with great reputation. If that is your business you must join other sites that you can do what ever you want to yourself, showing everything of yourself.
“mdayonliner”, I am so happy to have found your soulmate for you. Now...
After reading that—or rather,
attempting to read it, I can have only one response:
. Alcohol needs also our body but not to the maximum level.
No, wait: I
need the maximum level now,
right now. Then, I need to contact the management of Bitcoin and ask them to clean house. Where can I contact the management of Bitcoin?
P.S., to demonstrate what I mean about how I don’t elide vulgarity when I am making an accurate quotation of somebody else:
Fuck off.
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.
