**Lissa** , I think you are capable of misunderstanding any analogy I give you. Nonetheless, your mother is not going to swear at you when you drop ice-cream on the rug. You mother is not going to curse at you when break a dish. They would not swear if you make a simple mistake. However, if they do start swearing at you, it is pretty safe to assume that you did something really wrong, such as drawling on the walls even though you have been told not to 15 times. I do not think that mods swear because they like swearing, but because something is really wrong. ---

> [@Scott Plaid](#): > > I do not think that mods swear because they like swearing, but because something is really wrong. Fuck that, man. Well, your shoes haven’t disappeared up their collective ass yet, so maybe there’s still hope. Look, I actually like Dex. But a mistake is a mistake. This isn’t his first, he’s made a few. As have every single mod and admin this place has ever had. Fact of life. Kissing up will make no difference for you, Acting Ensign Crusher. (For someone else, maybe, but not you.) ---

Personally I thought the remark \*\*Weirddave \*\* allegely made but can’t be proven to have said or not said was actually pretty funny. ---

You think I am kissing up? If I wasa kissing up, I would be trying to agree with someone who often disagrees with me, like tom. Not talking about someone I don’t know much about. No, I just think it is idiotic to claim “mods shouldn’t swear”, and am arguing that point, since I do love to argue. ---

I am not saying mods cant swear, I am simply saying they must follow the board etiquette rules. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/c-k-dexter-haven/328187.md?page=8)
