Explicatory drift:

I am the one who occasionally uses the word 'swine', for the particular reason that I think this forum greatly spoilt by much of the unrestrained obscenity of many posts; so I avoid the likes of "cunt" & "fuck" and "fucking", my equivalents of which are generally such as "scoundrel" or "villain"; "damn"; "bloody". "Swine" is about the ultimate epithet I will permit myself when really driven to anger. I would urge that, compared to the generality of what appears here, Jim is being rather disingenuously prim & pernickety in denouncing it as so very unacceptable.
