We don't tolerate cussing in the community, other users may take offense to it.
simple as that
Because people don't want to be cussed at it is against ask's rules so you can't do it.
WTF...Seriously,there are ways to get your point across without swearing at people!!!
It's rude, offensive, and insulting. You can easily communicate without cussing.
Then you might want to take that back.
And if it's so easy, then why not do it? And I am NOT disrespecting, because I did NOT say that I didn't accept the way to communicate, I was just simply correcting you... YOUR disrespecting because of the way you choose to communicate! I could easily flag you if I wanted to, and STILL won't be considered disrespect! (but that's if you started cussing of course)
I dont care if your cuss, does that mean I am not a person?
Because its rude, obnoxious, and disrespectful!
Really I think no one should care as long as u use stars to block some of the letters like mitchellpei did
!@#$
Its not other people, ask automatically rejects comments with cuss words. Its a block. They are just words not like they kill people
OH, you were swearing here. Well maybe the guidelines need to be reviewed by certain people, mainly you.....
It's a bad habit to start. Unless someone is hurting you or you break an arm, I see no reason to cuss.
If you want to cuss without getting stuff removed, go to YouTube. End of story. It's their website, and they don't want cussing on it. That's why they care.
Because it's offensive. =)
Because we have feelings that you don't..
It's disrespectful. It offends most people and probably the main reason, it is not necessary.
I have been known to cuss in anger, but that doesn't make it right. Why can't you (or anyone else here) cuss? Because many of us don't want to hear it. If you want to communicate how dumb someone is, try using your intelligence to think of "non cuss" words. After all, cussing generally is indicative of laziness or low intelligence.
,using offensive language only shows your ignorance and limited vocabulary
