Sorry for offending yours or other Freepers' sensibilities. I should have used less offensive phrasing.

I should have used less offensive phrasing.

I try not to be a thread cop but I think we want to take the high road. I certainly didn't need an apology from you but perhaps you're more polite than I am. If you ever glance around at DU, you become aware how the more colorful kind of language can start to define an entire website and people soon don't feel they've made a strong opinion without some blue language. I've noticed over the years that if I let myself use that kind of language, pretty soon it takes over my speech habits. But maybe that's just me.

We don't want FR to go that way so I think that we can let the DUmmies beat us on that one thing.

Have a really good day, Tom.
