Errol, welcome to the 'Ive been sworn at on GR' club LOL. Very elite club you know!

I dont think swearing necessarily displays lack of intelligence but one thing I was taught on an assertiveness course (years ago lol) was that if a person needed to resort to using bad language to get a point across they have already lost the argument.

I think in that context it's true!

If I got one like that Errol I would report it. grievances can be aired civilly without swearing,

I'm obviously in the minority!! If I find someone objectionable and offensive for some reason I don't want to get into a battle of wits or win any argument so I am quite likely to tell them to whatever off!!

Errol, why did you get sent the pm? Was it random or a reply to something you'd sent? I always believe there are at least 2 sides to every tale but it looks like I'm alone in that also!!

I think there's a major difference between someone swearing in conversation and someone searing AT someone else. When its the latter it's unacceptable, I think it's especially so when it's an email or PM as it's also cowardly.
By the way I like a bit of a swear myself, although when my kids are getting to me I stick my head in a kitchen cupboard and mutter expletives pretending I'm looking for a tin of peas.

anybody who gets a nasty pm

please feel free to forward it to me

i could do with cheering up

and a good laugh would go down well

at the moment

Wow! An amazing response and thank you for the PMs.

I hope they were nice ones this time Errol lol

Very much so, TW, ranging from advice to empathy to useful information. Thank you.

Erm, wasn't it Erryl the Ship?
Yep, treat that with the contempt it deserves! lol

Sorry for that Glenys. I was messing around with names and didn't realise I had not changed it back. lol

I am in the elite club to :):)

Ive been sweared at , sworn at even sworned and swearded at lol

Its not nice when it happens but at the end of the day I dont give a flying fig as Im still smiling and my sense of humour sometimes gets a vision of someone who is sat there with their head ready to explode because I dont bite back lol

Colin :):)

That is a good way to handle it, Colin. Thank you for your wisdom and common sense.
