 I'll tell ya.... if ya want lessons on how to be nasty and insulting
without using profanity in any way.... listen to and read William F Buckley.
He can get downright hateful and viscious without using a single curse word.
The man's vocabulary probably about 10 steps above most people I would
consider rather intelligent. He has a great command of the English language
and can insult rather admirably with it. 
      I honestly don't *EXPLETIVE DELETED* care about the *EXPLETIVE
DELETED* profanity all that *EXPLETIVE DELETED* much. I actually do have a
*EXPLETIVE DELETED* former sailor in the group(oddly enough he probably
*EXPLETIVE DELETED* swears less than the rest though). But I guess... if
certain *EXPLETIVE DELETED* adjectives are a part of your *EXPLETIVE
DELETED* characters *EXPLETIVE DELETED* personality...then go for it. I
would have to agree that maybe the *EXPLETIVE DELETED* gratuitous use of the
profane is just *EXPLETIVE DELETED* not really *EXPLETIVE DELETED* called
for.



>>Hmmm.... I would come down on the side of swear/curse words being
verboten. 
>>I mean you can be plenty offensive without using them if that is your
goal.
