Would you consider banning the term JFC?

[Anonymous]

There are posters- one in particular- who use it incessantly as an opening comment to every post. Some of us are truly offended by this term.

Thanks for considering

So would you prefer they wrote it out...Jesus F*u*king Christ? Is that better?

JFC is way better!

This seems like a slippery slope. Will people want "WTF" banned next?

That’s crazy. I like using JFK, although sparingly because I feel guilty when I do.

I used it yesterday myself in a sarcastic response to the JFC poster. But let's be open here, it's generally used by non-Christians and there's that titillation of insulting Christianity when you deploy it.

But don’t you agree that JFC is taking the name of the Lord in vain, and would be offensive to some?

I ask this as a Christian who uses JFC because c’mon, it’s an awesome expletive. But I get why some wouldn’t like it.

I have used it on occasion (I actually wonder if there is a single “JFC” poster). I will reconsider using it but I have to disagree that I use it for the titillation of insulting Christianity. Christians have been swearing with religiously significant phrases as long as there has been Christianity.

Are we going to ban “zounds” too?!

No, JFC get a grip
