Appropriate language on Road.cc

I know I’m not the only one who is bothered by the language in some of the comments on Road.cc – is there not something that can be done about it?

Maybe because of parental influence I rarely swear and when I do it is in the heat of the moment, for example when a driver causes me serious risk I might use one or two (who’s counting) expletives; but in a considered response to anything however unjust, vile or repugnant there are plenty of words in our language which are fit to be seen by all. 

A comment typed on a computer is by definition considered (otherwise the fingers wouldn’t be able to find the keys etc) and although we do, and should, discuss issues that are terribly emotive and sometimes controversial we should remember that this is a public and non-age-restricted site.

This morning I’ve already read the “C” word used more than once as well as the “F” word.

Some might think I’m being a bit “prim and proper” and I might well be; but were my child or grandchild read the page I’d be unhappy.

So please:

(a) lets think about what we are typing and

(b) could the site admins moderate the language?

(c) lets see more immaginitive use of language

PS – I consider that the drivers causing the death by driving stupidly last night in Leeds deserve much, much more than the law will give them. I consider them to be reckless, stupid, irresponsible idiots who should be locked up for a long time and never be allowed to drive a vehicle again (and I mean never). They repulse any right thinking person and we rightly abhor not only their behaviour but the nature of society that lets this kind of thing become relatively common and relatively acceptable. BUT I won’t swear on here about them (ask me elsewhere though and I might!)
