Ignorance is one thing, trashy talk is another.
They are just words after all.
I don't use profanity here on Lugnet largely because Todd insists on it and
not because I agree with this policy -- which I don't, I think its silly.

P.S. Everyone can breath a deep sigh of relief that I hardly ever comment on
this vacuous complaint of the so many so ready to complain and condemn
different modes of speach. I would rather that rough words were expressed
than that people had to censor themselves for the sake of those with virgin
ears, or in fact not express themselves at all. We ARE losing meaning by
disallowing the use of certain words, people! And to me, all speach is
valuable -- maybe especially the speech I don't want to see or hear. And
isn't it in everyone's power to skip over a post they find personally
offensive anyway? Grow up and meet me in the land of the free -- if you can
find it -- its an increasingly difficult landscape to locate. Some things you
just have to deal with for yourself and not look to Daddy to handle it for you.
