You could always use some Irish curse word equivalents;
For example my grandmother used to use the word FECK instead of fuck, as in "Get in this fecking house now you little fecker before I break your fecking legs"
There is also GRASSHOLE instead of arsehole.
And of course there is the all encompassing "EJIT" which would be the english equivalent of idiot.
Now you can put them all together to make sentences like " What kind of fecking ejit would fit a 12" speaker in a fecking valve amp for harp? What the feck is he, a fecking grasshole?"
I'm fecking sorry as well.

You guys are a bunch of nefarious pudknockers who use entirely too much breath force.
EDIT:I just had my first cup of coffee, and realize I was out of line. I sincerely apologize for my statement above...well, the nefarious pudknocker part, anyway.

If this St Peter, can't deal with reality why would I want to talk to him anyway? Lying once is an accident, lying twice is a mistake, lying three means you have issues. Cockadooooodledoooooooo!

I grew up in church, have spent most of my adult life involved with/in ministry of one form or another. My children are the fifth generation of our family at the same church. In our home we don't allow foul language, not even "bywords" such as "heck", "dang" or "gosh" etc, and we don't allow rude words such as "shut up", "idiot", "loser", etc.
This forum isn't my home or my church. It's a secular forum and I expect to find foul language, name calling, hypocrisy, double standards, bad attitudes and sacrilege. If it were any other way my whole life would be a farce.
Keep up the good work and no apologies please :)

@DeltaDirt: You write: "Hypocrosy definitely rules at this site. Lets see.. we can say "GOD DAMN"at every whim(forgive me Lord) but "Shit"is forbidden. True leftist academia."
Actually, you'll need to blame two black people for this particular paradox: my guitar-man, Sterling "Mr. Satan" Magee, and my wife Sherrie. Sterling said "God damn!" so often and for so long that it pounded its way into who and what I am. I say it frequently, in many contexts and to many purposes. I have no objection to it here. But Sterling also cringed when I showed up in Harlem using the word "shit," and he told me to clean up my mouth. He always used the word "stuff." So that's what I started to use.
My wife Sherrie is no prude, but she, too, having been brought up by a church-focused mother in a black Pentecostal household in Dallas, cringed when I used profanity. Blues musicians--or at least many of the guys I knew back in NYC--liked to shoehorn the word "fuck" and "fucking" into many of their sentences. When I first met Sherrie, I occasionally tossed the word into my sentences, along with the word "shit," but she quickly made it clear that she didn't appreciate it. I use both words rarely these days. As for "god damn": I shout that to the heavens when I bang my finger with a hammer--and its energetic and expressive variant, "God DAMit!"--but otherwise I keep things clean.
In other words, your comment about my hypocrisy and academic leftism is stone-cold wrong. It couldn't be more wrong, in fact. You'll need to blame my black mentor and my black wife. They helped me see the light. I'm a man of integrity, DD. I still play and talk blues, but I tone down the profanity.
I don't think this forum should resemble a Nanny State; I'm fine with occasional, situationally-appropriate expletives. The problem is, this particular crew has shown clear and convincing signs of wanting to go off the deep end if ANY opening like that is presented. Expletives are like squeegee men on the streets of New York: if you let 'em get a foot in the door, pretty soon they've taken control.
Please humor me, and try not to make groundless accusations about why I do what I do. I don't fucking like that motherf--king sh-t, Goddammit.

As for me, although I tend to not use a lot of profanity myself, I don't mind it unless it's directed at someone. My rule of thumb is the umpire rule from baseball. You can swear in a baseball game; you can swear while talking to an umpire; you just can't swear AT the umpire. Some words are, by there very nature, attacks on specific groups of people, or when used in certain contexts are attacks on groups of people. As best I can tell, those words are a violation of the forum creed prohibition against attack other people.
As for G.. D..., I would try to follow that same rule. If someone used it as a declarative it's not attack any specific person. If it's used in the context of G.. D... you or you G.. D... so and so and it seems to be being used in anger then I'd say something. As for whether G.. D... is profane, well that's between G.. and you. I wouldn't say anything about a flattering picture of Mohamed, except to question why it was on a harmonica forum. An cartoon attacking Mohamed or Muslims I'd find offensive and say something about, although I'd protect it's right to be out in the world, as part of free speech, however abhorrent I might find it, but not on a harmonica forum.
Is that a liberal bias on my part? Probably. If someone wants to discuss why that's a bad thing, I'm all ears. I believe what I believe because I've examined what I think is moral and I try to act accordingly. We all have different values that we try to balance though. Free thought and speech butt up against being against hate speech and violence. Compassion runs into economics. I think the better we understand why people make the choices they do the more likely we'll at least understand each other, if not agree.
And for the record, although the word liberal is used as a pejorative by the right, and many people on the left don't identify publicly as liberals because it's considered a third rail in politics that doesn't mean we don't think being a liberal can be a good thing.

My take on the blue language on this blues forum...
I'm most definitely a blue-collar guy. In my trade (auto mechanic) we swear so much that it's been called "Grease-bonics". When I'm around guys who swear, I can hold my own, and teach the new guys a thing or two, as well.
When I'm in polite company, I tone it right down. No need to insult someone who doesn't like that sort of thing, is there? It does not cost me to behave, for a little while, anyway. After all, what would my mother have thought?
Does it bother me if you swear here or anywhere else? Not a bit, if we were having a beer together, or just hanging out, I'd be right there with you. However I'll most likely choose not to, on this public forum, most of the time.
That's just me, you do what you see fit. Oh yeah,I apologize for not swearing here.

Absolutely. I'm whooped. It's a southern-woman thing, really. They've got this inimitable sweet way of making it clear that things would be SO much nicer if you just toned it down a little. I really don't mind.

Let's push this thread to over 100...
I'm sorry that I didn't start playing harp when I was 4 or 5 years old, instead of fartin' around in a sandbox trying to impress the little girls...
I'm also sorry this phooin' spam code doesn't work better than it does...
