The FBI has no sense of humor.
I hate it when the FBI knocks on my door or serves me a subpoena. Please spare me and maybe yourself from this very unpleasant experience.
You’re straining at the gnats. I was just tongue in cheek proposing an area where the gentlemanly rules were off. That was not some explicit endorsement of profanity.
Heck, I’m still waiting to know why I was banned for a week.
Thanks for all you do Jim!
The PC vs Mac war has cooled but still exists.
I was raised a Baptist but people make fun of them all the time. Of course they deserve it most of the time, like the Female Southern Baptist that declare that abortion was a religious observance. When a Baptist steps out we call them down and Catholics should do the same with their high steppers.
AYE! MATE!
It is as easy as Kiss my Grits.
Both work.
Yep when ever a cop stops me a give him a good cussing out and he leaves me alone. </s>
Jim, I am so sorry if I have been a part of this situation.
I really try to be very respectful of my fellow FReepers. We come from all walks of life and have different life experiences.
Which is a great part of the fun around here!
I truly wish that you could earn some recognition from the government. A medal or something.
Hey, maybe you could be invited to Mar-A-Lago! Here’s hoping!

Things get crazy around election time. We all know that, but can’t seem to help ourselves.
LOL! Let’s leave humblegunner alone for a bit. :)
LOL!
Sitting behind your special microphone? ;)
Back to the top for those who missed this...
Thanks
This topic was posted , thanks Jim Robinson. And thanks for the link to this topic, Kevmo.
A ping to all lists.
I don’t see where I gave you a link to this topic but you are welcome to it.
AFAICS, cold fusion would be right up your alley.
Thank you for the very delightful reminder of the courtesy demanded by our first president.
His words will always ring true.
When I sense that things are about to go badly with another poster, I say goodbye and withdraw.
Every election season is a bit crazy around here, but this one is exceptional because of the obvious fraud.
Thank you, Jim, for providing us with a place to come together and vent (within reason, of course!)

As for being hardened against profanity, I agree.
When teenage girls walk around with “Juicy” on their low-cut sweat pants, and the coarseness (swearing, violence and sex) of cable TV, we as a society have seem to have lost perspective.
LOL! So what part of the South are you from?
Dallas-Fort Worth? :)
I lived in Texas for a while and really enjoyed it; very friendly people. I want to move back! But don’t worry; I’m no liberal Californian!
M. Thatcher,
You took the words right out of my mouth.
R.I.P. Rush. Miss you every day.
