Now, Jim; do you honestly think my mild language, words like "lefty" & "doctrinaire", will really qualify as "curse; violent vituperation; emotionally violent verbal denunciation"???

Honest, now? Stop being so wet & thin-skinned. If you can't stand the lukewarm heat I am generating in my language you would do well to get right out of the kitchen. I am surprised at you, using a word like "invective" to me. Get back into the real world, for heaven's sake, or go away.
