Perhaps I am blurring the distinction between name calling and profanity (which I view as equivalent). The foaming at the mouth hatred directed at Mrs. Obama seems the same as Hillary! got. I made the same observation then, that I make now - there's no need to name call, their actions speak for themselves.
I probably made hundreds of parody graphics of Hillary but never saw the meanness of speech that I see now.
There's always a tendency in online forums to look back to the period near when one signed on as "The Golden Age". At least that's what I've observed.
If I complain it's because I never want to see that happen here.
Ditto. I happen to think we're better than that. Thanks for the link. I guess I will start banging on the abuse button a bit more, no matter how much I hate doing it.
Lol, that may be true. I thought PIAPS [Pig In A Pant Suit] was about the worst we said, but may be forgetting.
I DO believe we have an influx of many very young FReepers, who are a bit more wordy. That's just my opinion from what I see and I am here every day.
The Mod said to hit abuse on bad language, they don't want it here either.
