Subject: RE: BS: useful versus useless idiots...???
Well I understand your point Dave, but using 'Anglo-Saxon' words isn't considered acceptable in public (arrestable offence actually!) and often reveals a lack of adequate vocabulary. I might use such words at home if I burn my hand on the cooker, but never when anyone is listening (except my husband, who sadly has learnt some choice words from me over the years!)
Like you I also dislike insidious (and invidious!) styles of posts, which I find patronising and rather underhand.
Surely one can state what one feels without undermining, being abusive, using bad language or insulting folk? If not, one should find another site where everyone is of the same ilk. (I can just imagine a type of John Cleese Monty Python sketch where all the protagonists are abusing each other at full throttle and enjoying every minute of it) :)
