Community Thread / Tips and Questions

There really ought to be another local mod, if only to keep the Lyrical Challenges running on time. I nominate myself, of course. Or Tojes. Probably Tojes.

My name is John, by the way. I haven't posted anything I'm proud of, which is sufficient motivation, I guess. And I think writing poetry for songs is more difficult than I previously thought.

No I know what she was talking about. I was half qualifying what she said, half corroborating it. I just wanted to address her. Not necessarily contradict her. Also, I'm an incredibly nice guy until an idiot walks around posting "emo is for teh fagz0rs" and the like.
 
I wouldn't say I 'dissaprove' of swearing in poetry, or any form of writing come to that. But I do feel that so called 'profanities' are so over used in every day life that they have, over the years, lost their meaning. They no longer have the same effect that perhaps they did 100 years ago.

I find that using other worRAB can now create a stronger effect than swearing. I'm not saying that there is no longer any need for swearing in our society, I'm just saying that there are much better ways of putting across your point.

When it comes to insults, I find swearing is so overused that it no longer means anything. I could hurt someone a lot more, using other vocabulary.
