I wonder if you could please tell me something that is rather puzzling me at the moment. It is only a small thing and I really don't want to take up a lot of your time. I think Strictly May be on tv soon, if not now, and I expect you want to settle down in front of it. 
The thing is, norty words in thread titles are allowed on MN. But not on here. Is that because we are the big girls and, therefore, expected to behave in a well brought up, ladylike manner.
If this is the reason, I quite understand and I will in future, if I have a future on GN, try to avoid the very worst of them. Like tits, bum, and bollocks.
Thank you for your very kind attention.

I don't think anyone's going to admit to any artificial enhancements, Bathsheba 
love0c I take it you meant GN posters?
No one is "ridiculing" anyone at GNHQ. Wouldn't dream of it actually. Just having a little laugh.
What's a GM poster? A genetically modified poster? Have we got any of those on GN? 
Perhaps we'd better. 
Can we please skip C?
Carillion just looked at that book on Amazon. Extract:
"I am certainly not a thinking man's Anna Raeburn, so you must solve your own problems." is the best put down ever."
Could be useful on here!
Yeah. Bet you 'ave.
You argue with 'em. I'm scared.
So we won't be needing our protest banners?
Been up half the night painting mine.

Got off lightly didn't I?!
Oh right. Ok.
Sorry, we were just struggling with a particularly crunchy Werther's. May have to go for the chewy version next time. 
So, swearing. We are all grown ups and no one is going to get sent to the naughty step for using a curse (or three). Actually, there is the odd exception to this - see our Netiquette section for details. But generally, fine. We know a lot of people don't like it, however, so it's good to keep it down a bit. But generally, not a problem.
However it's a bit more tricky when a swear word appears in a thread title, as those titles get pulled out onto our home page and elsewhere, so better to save it for the OP. Even Mumsnet, which devotees will know is a just a tad more sweary than GN , swear words are asterisked out of thread titles in the newsletter.
It's allowed!!!
