I don't go to DU. I see no sense in arguing with idiots. They simply drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
I've reserved the use of foul language for cases when subordinants are in extreme need of a reprimand. Never underestimate the effectiveness of the carefully chosen, strategically executed vulgarity. Such is only used when necessary to correct particularly poor performance and unacceptable behavior. There are times when "Gee Whiz" and "Oh Golly" don't quite do it.
After one such intervention, I found myself called into my director's office. He voiced strong approval for the "intervention." Of course, the session focused on the behavior and wasn't simply a "swear fest."
Incidently, the individual straightened up and left with a Commendation medal, written by your's truly. Go figure. Do you think a drum circle followed by "Kumbya" would have been as effective?
I thought we we talking about the interworkings of places like Congress and our everyday conversations.
