When a conservative who is offended by a word sees that word, he avoids threads with that word featured.

When a liberal who is offended by a word sees that word, he tries to ban that word from the English language

What you don’t seem to understand, is that the purpose has nothing to do with swear words existing, or being used among individuals.

My issue, that I assumed would interest all real conservatives, is in preventing the renaming of the movement with the word, to stop the practice of the movements public literature becoming course, ugly and full of swearing, we did manage to get by with normal, professional, adult language for at least 40 years or so of the survivalist movement.

Some of you keep confusing an effort to nip in the bud, the formal usage of it in our movements public identity, public naming, and public writings, with trying to stop individuals and their own personal language.

They are totally different things, I don’t know why the long quote from the article (post1) was pulled, but it may have been that it wasn’t appropriate language for FR, which means that it wasn’t appropriate language for an article that we all need to make hard copies of and show to our kids and families.

As conservatives and activists, let’s bring this up to authors, and writers.
