Arran: I prefer not to use the f word, or other curse words, as their use can be considered offensive to many people, and I would think that most subjects (other than, say, the history of cursing) can be discussed in a rational and civilized manner without resorting to the use of cursing for its "shock" value. I certainly do not feel entitled to intrude upon another person's space, figuratively, by smearing them with epithets, nor do I have any reason to wish for such a carte blanche. Why would I? Of course, that's only my opinion, and opininions generally have little or no relevence to anything beyond the cranium of the opinion holder . . . others may share the same opinion, but nobody can impose their opinion on another.
