Call me a prude, but I saw the F-word and hit the back button.

I didn't notice it until I read your comment.

  Same here. I think in that context it's fine. I didn't even notice it until I saw this comment here and went back to look.

  The little "about" text on the landing page has the word "fucking" in it.

Point taken. We'll try to hit a better balance between emotionalizing the subject without being too exclusive when iterating the text for this again. https://github.com/tus/tus.io/issues/14 https://github.com/tus/tus.io/issues/14

  I don't think it's an issue with "emotionalizing the subject", nor one of people getting offended, but rather one of professionalism. That sort of language, in a context like that, reminds me of a Zed-style rant. It makes it harder for me to take it seriously, you know? The whole project ends up coming off as an amateur effort, even if that may not be the case.

    I don't consider professionalism and the word "fuck" to be mutually exclusive, but at the end of the day we'll focus on what attracts people. Our current choice of words clearly fails at this goal, so we'll consider replacing it.

      It clearly fails but you'll only consider changing it? That's more worrying than choosing the word in the first place...

You mean "fork"?

Is there any reason why you don't use a profanity filter, like this one - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/simple-profanity-filter/ackkocjhcalcpgpfjcoinogdejibgbho?hl=en https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/simple-profanity-f... . It is an issue where you object to a certain subset of language, language that is used to express strong or passionate feelings about things. I have never given swearing much thought and I don't understand what makes you object to it. I guess I have always felt that the less people have to sensor themselves them better. The wikipedia article on the subject [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profanity http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profanity] is not as informative as I'd hoped.
