Hey, I won't lie to you. Brian knows when he writes things that some people are going to find objectionable, and doesn't mind if I warn anyone who says something about certain content. I consider it a service.

I understand. I am not being picky about the style or form, nor am I a prude. But adoption of such language is an assault of my heritage. Some people, even conservatives, give in to it. Subsequently, they are surprised at the election of officials such as Clinton.

Culture is a public good. If it also the only pool from which our leaders can come from. And you know what you shouldn't do in a swimming pool.

If some "intellectual" content comes at the expense of assault on civility, it is not worth it. Moreover, we have been down this rad many time over the course of western civilization: if you have something to say, you do have to shout sometimes, but you never need to insult the listener. Which is what the language of the "author" does.

Most certainly, I did not mean to offend you for the choice of whom you prefer to read. Have a good day.
