“The use of profanity is a sign of either intellectually laziness or lack of breeding.”
Given the coarse language on FR, especially the steep slide over the past few years, that characterization would apply to many FReepers here.
Compare the relatively civil and non-profanity laced FR debates in years past with today’s causal use of profanity, it is clear FR is following DU into the sewer.
I'll take your word regarding FR posts of the past.Although I ordinarily almost never use language that's even slightly coarse I must admit that here I've begun to at least alluded to coarse words and opinions because I'm white hot (no pun intended) with contempt for our Community Organizer In Chief and his pals.Perhaps that same contempt explains the general downward trend that you believe that you've seen in recent times.
