jps,

I try not to use profanity often because it diminishes it's effectiveness
when I do use. Profanity is supposed to shock and emphasize a point. When
it is used often, it does neither. I might go months without using
profanity, so when I use it, those who know me listen carefully.

I can't figure out what Doug achieved by using "Don't pull that **** with
me" statement. I my opinion he just wasted a perfectly good "****" when he
could have held it back when he really wanted to use a perfectly good
"****".

I thought it was applied with aplomb.

About the softest **** I've seen this year.
