I work in construction so I hear and see garbage every day. I can't stand it but I live with it to make a living for my family. But I will not allow it in my home. I try not to step on other people's toes and to respect their wishes. Why is it so hard for others to respect me in the fact that I don't want my daughter walking in to the room and hearing some one on range yelling a curse word? Our beliefs in what's acceptable or unacceptable might differ, and that's ok with me. I don't try to force mine on you so why force yours on me?

Who's forcing anything on you? You are on these boards, and flying in game under your own free will. You have the choice of tuning certain chanels, enabling voice communications, enabling sound, etc etc. If you so choose, you can ignore the chat in game.
That's the beauty in this system. If something bothers you, just switch it off. I fail to see how anyone is forcing anything on your life when you're given nothing but the ability to micromanage your choices with aces high 2.
I can't .report you if i'm offended by your grammar, or your flying skills. Why would you .report me for the word choices I use? What offends you about the "f" word? I mean does it really deep down cut your soul and hurt your feelings?
Try this in your head, and try to be objective about it. Say the word Rock, now say the F word. If you didn't know the English language, would it be by definition a bad word? If you can come on these boards and tell me why it hurts you so much to see/hear these words, and actually give me a logical response, I'll do my best to understand your logic.
If it's religous reasons, I understand that too. As far as I'm aware, jesus chirst and the good lord didn't speak English, and as many uses as the F word has as far as usage as a verb, noun, adjective, adverb, etc etc I highly doubt it was literally translated from anciet hebrew.
Words are words, some are more formal and appropriate to use in our language than others. School, work, the home with small children, church, or public places amongst strangers. This is a game, where we all come to throw our feet up, lay back and KILL each other. Bloody Cockpits, splattering parachute shots, and thousands of rounds of ammo being thrown down range.
As I said in my previous post, if it's too much, pull the plug or squelch. If you .report a cuss word, just ask yourself if you'd like to be .reported for something someone doesn't like about you? I find lots of things offensive, the difference is, I don't go and tell on people for it. I was raised to turn the other cheek, to tell myself in my head "that's why I don't do that, because I'm better than that." I was never told to run and tell, aka .report.
