I am certified as a troll by the highest authority known to man, the christian god as represented here by its followers. What are you guys waiting for?
Purple Rabbit, I read your reputations on here and they all look to be very positive. Not troll material...Sorry....lol

Define 'weird'.
I used to tell a lot of religious jokes. Not any more, I'm a registered sects offender.

I don't think swearing or personal attacks should be banned. If someone makes personal attacks in place of a point or a contribution to the discussion, that should be punished.
For example:
Quote:You're retarded. It's common knowledge that X == Y. Thus anyone can logically conclude that X == Z as well. Fuck, you're stupid.
vs.
Quote:Go fuck yourself.
I mean, it's harsh and abrasive, but we're all (mostly)mature and this is a discussion forum, not a nursery.

Try what I said in the food thread, lol.
Scotch eggs hollowed out and with jam crammed inside, doesn't exactly improve the flavour....I learnt that lesson - you live, you learn.
I mean the flavour was kind of, 'Basically-A-Rancid-Pocket-Of-Gas-Plus-An-Overly-Sweet-Strawberry-With-Bread-Crumbs-On-Top-Just-To-Piss-You-Off' kind of flavour. It really, really, ain't that pleasant - it was just......well, never a good idea basically....I don't know why I needed to give such detail on the matter really!
I'll never forget it though...it sucked. I always mention it whenever I discuss about food. Maybe, just maybe, it traumatized me in some way LOL.

This includes unreasonable personal attacks on members, posting angry rants with no real objective, and spamming people with a large number of swear words instead of making a point."
I believe as long as the swearing is not offensive and not attacking someone it's fine.
