I was once told I had a “potty mouth” on here for using the word: “Damn”....
What in the hell do these people think our guys were talking like while they were taking Iwo Jima? “Oh Darn, my buddy just got his guts fragged out”. “Golly Gee, I’ve been hit!”. “Oh Snap! Can we get a medic over here?”. LOL
Of course, FR isn’t a WWII battlefield, but I’m just sayin’. Real life isn’t a G Rated family show like “Leave It To Beaver”, or Sunday School......
Years ago when I first came on this site (In the age of White Water etc) I posted something that was humorous. I got read the riot act by someone who said this site was to be a serious place of study for those who wanted to know about Clinton and his shenanigans.
I backed off for a long time gradually humor became more and more prevalent and I could breathe again
How about using FR's long standing rule against profanity as an opportunity to expand vocabularies? English is a wonderful language with many words suitable for expressing all manner of emotion, including passionate intensity and utter contempt.
But, I've had a burr about it for a while.
