    I just manage to interrupt the "FIRETRUCK" before it goes all the way through from brain to fingers to enter key. I'll even swear out loud. I'm just wondering how people whack out swear words in text and seemingly have absolutely no chance to stop it before blamming that out.
    others are more impulsive than you (or I for that matter, unless you count 'damns' as a swear word :P), and considering that a simple 'frick' or two can apparently net you visit by a gm, I do think that posts like yours and others about how "easy" it is to not swear aren't helping and feel more like you're poking fun at people who lose their temper in some way or form, sometimes not even aimed at anyone in particular or even themselves

    I don't swear in front of children or in front of people, only if the situation warrants it in the latter example, i.e. a car speeding past me/someone close and almost hitting someone, a "what the frick" might escape my lips in a situation like that
    at the few places I've worked/am working, no one really batted an eye when someone lets out a little swear out of frustration, unless it's aimed at someone since we're all adults and know that some things are just so frustrating that you need to vent your displeasure immediately

    basically this, though I admit I was a bit more hot headed in my younger days
    but I also completely understand the frustration some people can have in this game for various reasons, generalising and judging someone over what may have been a culmination of a lot of grief and stress and unloading into some swear words in a videogame isn't the nicest thing to do, imo
