Not to derail, but I'd avoid using language like this if you want to be taken seriously.
- JabavuAdams 11y agoThat's one way of looking at it. OTOH, some of the smartest and most successful people (at creating products) that I know express themselves like this. So ... tolerance works both ways. Don't flip the bozo bit based on a word -- there are many cultures on the internet. EDIT> Your suggestion is prudent, but I don't want prudence and inoffensiveness to suck the life out of my communications, leaving only a dry passive-voiced husk.
- namuol 11y agoNobody likes a self-righteous censor, I get that, but I'm just being honest with you: it comes off as lazy and juvenile without really helping your case. I'll try to be more tolerant...
