B-BBC ETIQUETTE – PART 3

Ok then – just back on the site and having a look through some of the lively threads. All good stuff but I do wish that there was less swearing and fewer ad hominem attacks. That is no way to approach civil argument and just as you would not go up to a stranger (I hope!) and start swearing at them then I wish the same civility was extended to all who come in here. I know it is easy to get annoyed but honestly, the foul language just gets us nowhere so do me – and more importantly Biased BBC – a favour and be a bit more careful as to your choice of words. If we want to open up the bias of the BBC to wider scrutiny (agreed?) then we need to lessen the vulgarity quota. Hope you will observe this, if it doesn’t improve I will simply start removing the sweary words and that then defeats my purpose of being here – which is to write, not edit. Please don’t take this the wrong way – I love all your passion, wit and erudition but I think we just need to clean up a little. Thanks.
