Wow at the OP tho.. reminds me of grade school when kids would be like: "OoooOoOooh YOU said a bad word!! I'm telling!!"


This seems oddly appropriate.Roll

The Mittani hired a doppelganger and forgot to teach him how to act like a gentleman. He saw the videos of his doppelganger acting like a jackass and profusely apologizes.

It's nice to see the kind of crowd CCP are pandering to these days in this thread.

Maybe that's the reason for the big push to dumb things down.

Must agree with the op. I am not particularly religious and I don't have a problem with profanity actually. I use it from time to time in real life, but I am capable of speaking like a person with a brain.

I just notice that people who use a lot of profanity tend to be (not always, but more often than not) ignorant yahoos. I think of it more as a signal to know who is juvenile and should be ignored.

Don't really see how the subject is worthy of a thread though. Except to troll all the 15 year olds. I laughed at all the people in this thread rushing to the defense of foul language as if it is their own religion. Kept picturing kids trying to be men typing their silly explanations and/or blame of America/religion/bacon. In my mind they are smoking cigarettes in front of their friends to look cool while trying to keep from coughing.

So you're CCP Baguette. The guy who presented the "Seeding the Dust Universe" panel?


I think you're thinking of the "Ship rebalancing" and "Faction Warfare" panels.
Also people need to HTFU.


You're right. Seriously CCP Baguette. I couldn't understand a damned thing you were saying.

Next year Sreegs and Soundwave need to do all the panels, backed up by The Mittani and Michael Bolton 3.

Where I come from, far to the frozen north of that cheese-ridden land, the euphemism for employing a blood-curdling curse is 'to speak French'.

So you probably already have.

I for one understood Ytterbium fine; but maybe that's just the Gallente in me talking.

Essentially, he said stuff, it was good, and I should probably buy him a beer and some roquefort next year.

people really need to get over the fact that if you curse all the time that makes you stupid or ignorant, this is completely incorrect.

its that fact that they can not seem to use any other words to impart the same meaning and must resort to repetition makes you stupid.

I'm a former Marine,

**** isn't a word it's punctuation. Twisted

Seriously **** such a wonderfully diverse word that can express such a wide range of emotions from apathy through joy and hatred all depending on tone and context.

What the **** (bewilderment)

Wanna **** (attraction or creepiness depending on context)

**** you (anger)

**** off (dismissal)

**** me (disappointment)

**** it (resignation)

You **** (disgust)

******* A (happiness)

and that's just the tip of the ******* ice-burg of what you can do with that wonderful word.

The majority of the population doesn't look at the 4-letter words the same as some of you christian-types. To most of us its no different then any other cuss-free insult

You've chosen to insult people who do use 4 letter words. The mature thing would be to NOT insult them while trying to form a valid case against using cusswords on the stream.

4-letter-word or not, you're no different then them.


This has the potential to be one of the stupidest posts ever.

If you have such ABYSMAL self esteem, that you need to curse so that people think you're cool, it's actually the other way around, you're making disgrace of yourself and people will like you less, if at all.

Other than that, Keynote yesterday looked awesome Cool


While I share your views I knew you were going to be attacked. I do not think talking about what maybe their personality traits helped. I do not like stereo typing or stooping to others level so it might be better to just say what you don't like next time. Brave to do so. It does seem like your opinions/values are bashed openly by management and the forum/CSM community. I started this game in 2007 and it is nothing new unfortunately. We are entitled to our opinions and I applaud you to standing up to what seems like the vocal majority.

On a side note. Eve is no more dis-functional a community than any others I know..
