Is BS (in writing) swearing?

Sorry to be asking this !Is BS(b..l..it) considered swearing in the Forum and therefore deserving of a warning?
I searched in the Forum rules but couldnt find anything related.

I say this because I got a warning for writing it in a UK car Forum!
Some chap replied to me with a lot of BS and couldnt resist ,mentioning it!

JCL will become famous soon enoughJCL will become famous soon enough
There are probably as many opinions as there are members here.

I'll start. I don't think there is anything wrong with using the letters BS, ie some posts are full of BS. I think if it is spelled out, many would have a problem with the last four letters.

I don't have a problem with it as long as it is not used as a personal attack on another forum member.

This Forum Home | SwiftOwners - Suzuki Swift Owners Club

Had a debate with a Moderator ,totally anti-diesel ,who didnt have arguments on the subject and resorted to personal offenses and threats of ban ,just because he was loosing the debate and couldnt substantiate his claims.Deleted my posts so that members could only see what he posted!Anyway ,long story short,he got demoted and I got an apology from the chairman..but I am still not returning.
