Recently, in "Whats your "style"?" I made two posts. It was intended to be one post but I had forgotten something and went back to it.
In them (it) I used a couple of common phrases that include profanity, which I will not repeat. One member took offence to my phrases with the "starred out" vulgarities (where * is used instead of the letters).
While I disagree with his view that I used words that, while they were not complete text, that should not be used here, I absolutely do agree with the Senior Member that any type of profanity use should not be used here.
For doing so I apologize. I could have easily inserted other, less bourgeois language. While, yes, I do use vulgarity when it suits my purpose (it is known that profanity sometimes gets a message across better than 'normal' language), I should not have used such language here.
I was going to repeat my original post(s) with the vulgarity replaced, but I think this post is now long enough for anyone.
