yea, I actually donated to bob the last round. Fancy that.

Most expletives have little value to me, I maintain only a very short list of taboo words, words that have only been meant to degrade and hurt (the n word, and then a variety of sexually based thingy's sl*t, all of the homo-hatred language.) But basic f- or s- , while as my father always said: "demonstrate a lack of imagination" and "lazy vague words" more used for "shock value" than valuable communication, still do not to me really cause alarm.

My most common use of the f word is a self deprecating abstraction of myself into the second person "Ahhh F-you, Dig Space" I vocalize with remarkable frequency.

In the end I still believe s-fest and cluster-f capture a lot of meaning in a small space, and whilel ther eis considerable room for error, it is not dissimilar to me in invoking "Wavoid", "kool-aid", and so on as a method to say much in a small number of characters.

The expletives along with the use of Void as a perjorative lack clarity, the point my father always emphasized ... that one may reasonably choose to use these words, but in the end it reflects laziness and suffers on matters of clarity.

All of that said, tours board is a s-fest and a cluster-f riddle with OCD perceveration, and I think in that case a few words spared me a 5 paragraph essay.

Flatpanels mission to describe me or this as complaining or sour grapes assumes much, none of which is true, but panel, as I, has rights.
