Can I swear in Stories and Biographies?

[Marburg]

The use of profanity seems to be a common practice in todays society
BUT
It also reflects the inability to express oneself via normal dialect and conversation.

There are Admin rules on the server for a very clear purpose.
Perhaps one is that also in todays society we are not permitted to offend in any manner.

The use of profanity was common not only in today's society, but in yesterdays society, & the society the day before yesterday, & every single society since, like, ever.

I completely disagree that it reflects on one's inability to express ones self, on the contrary, it absolutely enhances expression.

There are no server rules against being offensive, if there were, then EVERYBODY would get sanctioned ALL THE TIME.

As I've always understood Igiss's Mandate, The swear rule exists as simply a matter of overall class that the forums should adhere to.

In principal, I'm totally on board with the concept.

In practice, (see any of my posts in this thread) the reality is different.

I personally think that as long as the spirit of the law is followed, then the letter of the law need not be enforced by the staff
