That is twice that you have misrepresented my post to you where I said “I know that more and more I click on the direct link to articles rather than to the freerepublic threads because I get tired of all the cussing when I’m trying to read and think, even in the religion threads it is all over the place.”, in defending your DU language.
Now you think that being conservative in public writings and utterings is inappropriate and better saved for “spiritual” life.
I never thought that my simple comment would stir up such a determined defense from you, social conservatism includes not throwing filth and mud into public speech.
Huh? You quoted yourself and said I was misrepresenting your post even though that’s what you said?
I’m not defending anything, nor am I apologizing. I told you if you didn’t like what I said, feel free to report my post. I have no problem with that.
As far as my public writings, feel free to peruse my history. I’ve been here since 2004, so you might want to get comfy.
You would be hard-pressed to find an overuse of vulgarity, and considering I’ve spent my adult professional life opining on the declination of linguistics in our modern society, you’ll probably find that it’s few and far between.
I have numerous degrees in English and am very proud of my usage, grammar, and vocabulary. When I swear, it’s for a reason. I was fired up this morning due to a plethora of garbage posts, and I let one fly in a post. You decided to opine on my use of the word “bullshit,” and immediately went on the defensive inferring that you are bypassing the meat of the comments due to foul language.
