[QUOTE="Ropefree, post: 240127, member: 6271"] Words hurt. The most recent situation I dealt with is swearing. the excuse 'they are only words. It is just a joke. I am not serious.' How does that hurt you and other people? What I did/do is immediately stop the show...what ever is going on...done. now. The first time I said it. The second time I said what would happen (close the funtime, friends go home, ...) third time: consequences. After that the first time is THE END. they react,fuss, fume, ect. when that is over then they want to talk about it. when I am ready to talk then ask "How did what you did hurt you and other people?" Until the offender has that part in line they are not having guests, sharing the room with others, on the entertainments ect. Bored? REad a book. Take a nap. Take a bath. For me intentionally annoying,hurtful, mean is not tolerable. Teasing is mean. [/QUOTE]
