Now, I'm not saying that it's right to direct them towards anyone. However, the tone of most people's comments are coming across as being rather condescending. I'm just trying to point out that there are situations where a curse word could be considered appropriate.

This may be showing both age and cultural differences between those posting in this thread.

As an illustration - at about midnight with a group in St. Louis at the CMP, I had someone say to me "You are the s**t."
My face must have looked as shocked as I felt. I was really tired so at first I thought I heard her wrong. This is someone I like, and I thought liked me. However, she is half my age.
I said "What???!"
And she and two others piped in "No, that is good. We all like you."

I dunno. Sometimes it feels hard to keep up.
