:: What has changed, in my view, is FReepers no longer self-censoring ::
Might I drag you back to my post #10 wherein I used a cultural anachronism yet, substituted characters in the vulgar word so as not to offend others (self-censoring?).
To wit, I posted “Ain’t that the sh*t”.
Y’all’s overt and extraneous piousness is stifling.
Stifling? Really?
You can find no other words to express your excitement and approval of your man's statements than that?
Really?
I think you can, because you used some good, precise words in what I snipped.
“Self-censoring” would be to avoid the use of a profanity.
Rather than merely reply thoughtfully, as you did by sharing a different opinion, you then closed with snark/insult.
Proved my point about (lack-of) civility.
