Chuck,
I agree, if used very sparingly, a good expletive can be effective to
emphasize a point. If it is not used sparingly it loses all impact.

What the ****'s the difference, moron?

Why is it that so many of the "progressives" in the NG think it is useful
to
use expletives to emphasize their prospective on issues.

I also wonder why so many liberals find the word liberal to be such a
negative word that they use the expression "progressive".


You suffer from a short memory. Recall "Tuuk"? Recall the decidedly
right wing individual who attempted to drive all the OT posters from
the NG with a non-stop barrage of profanity?

As far as the term "liberal" goes, some prefer to be called
"progressives" for the same reason that many of you "reactionaries"
would prefer to be called "conservatives".

Profanity should be used sparingly, for special emphasis. Overuse of
profanity usually indicates a limited vocabulary. Then again, there are
cases where one is attempting to communicate with people who don't
easily understand multi-syllable words and there is a limited supply of
four letter words that can be easily understood.
