and is it acceptable to imply that a fellow Freeper is stupid due to a typo in their tag?

You'll have to ask the poster that made that point. There is a general agreement that scoring points from typos isn't good form.

I'm no prude, and I don't think most people here are. But every thing has it's place. My eyes didn't burn when I read your post. But I didn't get any smarter by reading it either. When, on rare occasions, I wade into the leftist internet swamp, my main reaction is usually "what barbarians and losers these people are". I think the differences between us and them are worth preserving. Their side may be calling the shots now, but I doubt it is due to their superior ability to drop f-bombs twice per sentence.

As far as what constitutes mild profanity: where the hell do you get off asking that damn question? I suppose if you can imagine John Wayne or Clark Gable using it in a fox hole, it's OK with me. I can't imagine John Wayne talking about rug munching.

I’m more of a Bruce Willis fan....

I guess I can be a little rough around the edges. You are absolutely correct about those yahoos on the left. In all fairness, if this were an Issue based post, my response would not have been crude.

P.S. I fixed the typo. Some good did come out of all this guttural profanity.

“I can’t imagine John Wayne talking about rug munching.”

He did, however, say that Rock Hudson was “a waste of a face on a fag,” referring to the career he could have had with Hudson’s looks.
