Are our standards slipping?

...that's taking the p**s!

NOTE:
I edited the word above and replaced two letters with **


I don't know it it's me, but we seem to be letting our standards slip a little, or is this becoming normal in forums these days?

We used to be subtle in how we said expletives, most of us still are, and while using words similar to above has now become acceptable in everyday language we are now even using anagrams for four letter words.
The well known fashion brand "FCUK" hasn't helped, it's probably this that made the brand popular.

When I first joined this forum, I was told that youngsters read some of the posts.
Now I know this and worse is standard language in the school playground and sometimes in the school corridors and the kids know when not to use it when in the presence of responsible adults, but I think we need to start re-drawing the line.

What are your thoughts on this?

I have been on other non subscription sites and the language has been extreme in the least, it is our members and our standards that have made this one of the most professional 4x4 sites on the web.

A standard that I hope continues, otherwise we just become the same as the other sites.

I don't want to sound like a grumpy old git, but my wife has known this for years...

just a thought...
best regards,
Rustic
