An observation, not an attack: there was a time on FR where profanity was rare because we self-censored, used our intellect and superior vocabulary to avoid profanity. Moreover, profanity was not casually used.

Sadly, the casual use of the F-bomb proves the decline of FR.

I fear lower stands are soon to become no standards. . .much like DU.

IMHO.

Thank you, Hulka. I think most freepers agree. Profanity adds nothing to the conversation and still offends a lot of people.
