Hello, it's me, Bowyer the duck. You may think it's odd that I'm not saying
"Quack," but I can write normal, can't I? Anyway, I'm here to talk to you about
something that disturbs us all. Rudeness.
It has doubtless happened to every single person on Whyville (except, of course,
the lucky people who have not been on long enough to meet someone who is mean).
Many people just find it easier to be rude than to be nice. Sometimes, they even
swear! Even though this site is protected by a swear-shield of some sort, people
still get through it by removing a letter or two.
For the victims of this mindless profanity, (pretty big words for a duck to use,
huh?) these "false" curses are as devastating as a full swear. I urge all you
Whyvillians (no, I don't mean that as in "villains," it just means that you have
got an account on Whyville) to be nice and not swear.
I, myself, have been the victim of some swears myself, and believe me, I do not
like being sworn at. And if someone does swear at you nonstop, remember: those
tools (Warn, Silence, 911, etc.) aren't just sitting there for nothing. If you
need to, use them.
I guess that just abut wraps it up, and remember: be nice. Don't swear.
Until next time, this is Bowyer, signing off with a Quack-Quack-Quack!
Editor's Note: If you run into someone cursing non-stop (even if it's not at
you!), 911 report them, please! It's the job of all good citizens to keep our
town safe and clean -- that also includes misbehavior over passwords, race,
sexual stuff, and so on.
