"Everyone's so open and friendly" is a lie

[Rinhi]

This wasn't implying that I , or anyone else who has managed to not swear in game, are BETTER than anyone. We're all just people and I accept that means we're very different. I'm not some emotionless lump or implying I am a master of self control. I'm trying to point out though that implying the rules are at fault for someone doing what they're trying to prevent is kinda a backwards way to look at it. The rules assume people have basic self control and can operate in a "family" environment. This is literally what is agreed to by hitting the "play" button.

maybe not you, but there were multiple posts whose intent was clear as the day earlier in the thread, unless they got deleted with the 2 pages of discussion

are you talking actual "frick" or the ..actual word we all think when we say frick?
I'm not poking fun at anyone. I'm hoping they can look at what's going on and go "oh.. the problem isn't I'm getting CAUGHT swearing, maybe I could.. not swear where they don't want me to.".

I meant the actual word, yeah lol, and while you didn't intend to poke fun at anyone, it read to me like that, I apologize if I misunderstood your intentions

OK so you personally likely have a handle on your own frustration and control yourself based on situation, surroundings and appropriateness. Again you, like I , understand that frustration is not an excuse correct? So suggestion that maybe not swearing where you're not supposed to be swearing isn't some jab and might be a reminder that whether or not you want to or are used to swearing all the time, you have to consider where you're are at the time.

it's not an excuse, but I do excuse people who swear depending on the situation and like theo said it earlier in the thread, some of the sweetest people I know swear like a sailor, hell, my former really awesome boss was one of those people, too, at work nonetheless
so yes, it 'doesn't have a place' in the game, but it's also a non-issue to me if people swear in the game unless they swear AT people with the intention to hurt
if it's someone saying, say, 'why is fricking X standing afk in the starting area?' in alliance raids or pvp, or a 'why the frick are you repeatedly standing in bad' after multiple wipes or big issues due to that person doing it, I understand it, even though know I know it's wrong and against the TOS, if that makes sense? I just accept that it's a momentary lapse of control and not an inherent lack of self control
