I love how everytime I question something it turns into a roast lost topic.

Im very competitive and I believe in a fairly strict interpretation of the rules Im sorry if some people cant handle that

1. I've never called you out about anything, but apparently decorum doesn't mean anything. You could have used "jerk" as simply as the d-bomb, but it's been your M.O. to drop an unnecessary profanity for seemingly no reason.

2. I'm not in the league, so I could give two squirts about the rules.

3. Perhaps being aware of who reads things leads me to be a little more selective in my word usage, or the fact I tend to use some other descriptive words to explain things, rather than reverting to f-bombs, etc. There's never any reason to use an F-bomb on a public forum. I'm all for free speech, but seriously ... the more profanity one uses, the less serious they'll be taken and more likely requests will be ignored.

Devil's advocate ... as far as my job goes ... I had to deal with the most viral message board in Virginia for nearly 10 years. I had parents calling me explaining how they wouldn't let their kids on Mat Talk because of the crap on the forum. I'd kill every post that contained any of the "seven dirty words" without question.

Way to be on the defensive, I was merely making an observation. There's no place for an f-bomb in a "civil" conversation on a public message board and still have it maintain its civility.

Regards...
