I think people need a twist here and there to be thrown off politely off their rockers.
Actually, I disagree. I think her use of the word is in the right context and displays the character very well. Using **** kind of distracts from the reading, when she's using it properly.
If it was in some other case like the general boards and all, I would mind, but in this post, it fitted. So I have no qualms there.

Did you know the F word is a acronym? Fornication Under Consent of King. It has old roots when population was getting out of hand people had to get F.U.C.K. or i don't know would be fined or have their children killed?

Yes I did, LFH. You learn a lot in history classes. That’s why I said it’s used wrongly, and I wasn’t just talking about transforming it into adjectives or adverbs. I suppose another country or tribe might have a law like that, but mostly it’s used wrong. Another reason I loathe the word. My reason is why shouldn’t the word Hell work? I think that would have been perfectly fine.

Actually, you guys, THAT acronym is likely to be a false urban myth~ Read the Wikipedia article on it. Interesting read and cuts hearsay into bits.
Hm. I chose the "F-word" because I believe it fit. He's emotional and freaking out -- why would someone... anyone... censor themselves in the heat of the moment??
I've also already "toned" down the language in my Apoc War posts considerably -- in regards to a request pretty similar to this --- so really, I'm sorry, I really am, but I am completely over this and won't change anything!

To summarize: Michael, get over it.
Hell wouldn't work in this case anyways. Even if it's grammatically incorrect, it's the culture and slang that uses the other word. Geez.
Spooky, calm down, keep the word. I'm not going crazy and forcing you to change it. I think it FITS. So, keep the dub-down style as you have already, if anything.
Actually, I'm rather fond of some of the cursing in Apoc War. It adds CHARACTER.
There's my say, if anyone bothers to consider.

Well for it to be said rp forums inspire creativitiy, so don't censor peoples language. Michael it may be your rp, but let people have their freedom of speech. I wouldn't say nowadays the F word is used out of its meaning because over the years its aquired new meanings such as the words cool, hot, and etc. This is just the evolution of our language, you have to accept it.
