I tend to agree. This is a valid criticism.

However, there is an element of rage and bitterness that demanded a bit of cathartic release. Moreover, while admittedly rough in some spots, there is some value in the tone and choice of words that assists with the message being conveyed.

Make no, mistake. I am angry and frustrated. And sometimes it is necessary to get a little primitive on the wording.

Moreover, I am not sure how persuasive the WSJ and other outlets are in really making a point. Plus, that gets a little boring to read every day.

That being said, will work on tone a little better next time around.

Tone is OK; it’s direct foulness that “stenches” it up. I “close my ears” when I start hearing - much less reading - it.

I am a foul-mouthed person, who knows I have to clean up. But that’s purely in private; I don’t generally cuss in front of people, and certainly not in conversation. But I do let loose alot of anger “under my breath” (not so quiet any more, unfortunately), along with my whole temper especially about commies (yes, these fora make me mad) and the dogs next door, which includes profanity.

I just know I have to stop it even if it’s completely private - but I still don’t like hearing it from others!
