Wow... you have never experienced sequences of letters used to describe rather crude phrases on FR? Jeez... happens daily and sometimes they don’t bother to mask it. This post is rather mild in comparison to some that have been aimed at me lately, so you better get a stiffer backbone.
My backbone is just fine, thank you. Indeed, having a spine is essential if we're going to keep FR from turning into a cesspool.
It looks like the Mods nuked the comment too (I alerted it to them), so it looks like their backbone is doing fine.
I honestly recommend that when you have the "F" word - or other such cuss - thrown at you in FR (I don't disbelieve you), that you show a backbone for smart and civic discourse by hitting the abuse button on those posts as well.
FR threads are around forever (we hope). Do you want people looking back in a hundred years, and drawing the kinds of conclusions about our cause that these vulgar posts - TO EACH OTHER HERE ON THE FORUM - imply?
