the way they treated each other.

LOL. Calvinists don't mince words, Mack. That's why we like you. 8~)

But Calvinists don't call anyone "schmuck" like I was called last week.

Proclaiming and profaning are two very different things.

Give it a rest, ok Doc?

If the guy apologized and you accepted the apology it's unchristian of you to keep bringing it back up time and time again.

Not everyone realizes (as you should know) that the word has some offensive roots (BTW it has some perfectly reasonable non-vulgar uses as well). "Dork" has a very similar origin but people don't consider it beyond the pale.

The Calvinists here haven't shown some group aversion to inappropriate language sufficient for you to think you're on a high horse. It's really My Little PonyTM. I believe you used "pathetic" the same day - which plenty of people can be offended by without having Jewish relatives to translate from the English.

If we give you a medal for enduring for the cross like you did, would you shut up about it?
