Oh FFS ... he isn’t asking for anyone’s ability to fully express themselves to be curbed. He’s just asking for an option to have some of the more colorful expressions replaced with **** when they appear on his feed. Easy enough to do I believe.

How the **** could that possibly be a problem for anyone else?

Let me dumb it down for you:

Before showing your kids a webpage meant for adults...look at it yourself first.

My post had nothing to do with expression being curbed.

You seem to be missing the obvious.

When that which is enlightening sits right beside or in response to that which is crude as things stand the user has to accept the one or forgo the other.

Why should that have to be so, and why should simply asking for a fix justify anyone providing a sermon on responsible parenting?

I can't dumb it down any further.

I think I have a solution for you? and the OP

Because his request is retarded. This website wasn't made for 8 year olds, and Baron has better things to do than messing with the software for 1 (repeat one) poster's sake. (Who by the way has been repeatedly banned from this website.)

But call me fucking stupid for making sense...I know we live in a society where everyone is a winner, and kids need a helmet to bike 5 mph, and buckets need a warning that it is not a swimming pool. And Yellow Pages need a warning that it is not a bullet proof vest...

Sorry for the rant, I am going to watch now the documentary called Idiocracy...

We could call it child abuse exposing small children to ET. Maybe Surf could get community service. Yeah, let's dumb down everything to the lowest common denominator.

Why would anyone in their right mind think that an investing/trading site is suitable reading material for children? Oh, did I say right mind? My bad...

OP doesnt require a solution from you.
This thread purpose was not about an issue of vulgar language but about an OP of another thread using threats toward another member.
It's just that this thread has got sidetracked a tad, (but I have no issue with that.)

I see my error now. Thanks. My post was meant for @truetype , not the OP.

"4 letter words" are spoken everywhere.

You knew the language of this site before you showed your kids; yet you showed them anyway. So either you made the story up in an attempt to be persuasive, or in order to hide the fact that this is more about you--not your kid, or you're ********.

WSJ etc. is free to speak, or not, as they choose, within the law.
ET'ers are free to speak, or not, as they choose, within the rules.

Your opinion (for a rule change) that everyone should speak like you, or be censored has been met with counter-opinions. We'll see how it plays out.

Again, there's an app to protect you from mean internet words.
