Good grief- it appears that I'm going to "attack' a certain person again. But I just don't want to let this go:

"It is that system, and you lot in here, who made me swear as I do, when I write. I do not swear in front of my children..they do not swear at all. I will, however, use some great anglosaxon words when confronted with complete plonkers, be they politicians, teachers, or messageboard users...I particularly will swear when confronted with perverted stalkers who follow me round the internet giving me 'secret signs' on here..."

Would your daughter, who is now in her 20s, be surprised at the language her exemplary mother uses online? Why not advise her to dip into Mudcat so that she can see how mistreated her mother is?

More to the point, no one makes you swear, OK? That mindset is the same one that many ne'erdo-wells- and I don't want to enumerate them - use to excuse their own behavior.
