Abigail, I do not agree with your implication that morals are to be followed like the fashions in attire.

I don't find Podmaster's sig of such import that it would move me to raise the issue.

"Shit" just has a coarse or low-class air that I do not aspire to. Call me hopelessly middle-class if you like or/and old fashioned.

Princepawn's "retardo" complaint has some moral force but is weak to me. We will judge people by their behavior--enough stupid actions and we will judge the doer stupid. Each must judge how to apportion honesty and gentleness into their words.

Be well.
