I believe the assertion JoustGod was trying to impart was that a significant proportion of MARP consider the f-word an unacceptable use of the vernacular. While it is your choice whether or not you choose to side with this assertion, it is considered good etiquette to observe the same or similar standards as the majority when in a public forum. You may like to argue this is prudish and restrictive when in reality it is a requirement of a civilised society. Without such implied moral standards society would quickly regress to a more primitive "tribal warfare" mentality - just look at how quickly the hunted becomes the hunter in moral-less struggles of power such as the former Yugoslav states have most recently demonstrated.(posted 9601 days ago)Now we could get into a long involved philosophical discussion on this subject but I think we'd all sooner just play some more MAME games.
In conclusion, I would like to second JoustGod's polite request that you refrain your use of the f-word vernacular in this forum.
