And I really don't tend to curse unless people are doing something stupid and annoying. If people have concerns and questions that I feel are valid, I'm more than happy to talk about it. I curse when there isn't any argument. The cursing happens for the "you're so f*cking wrong that it's not even worth trying to make logical arguments about it, because you have no possible excuse" case. .. and sometimes people surprise me and come back with a valid excuse after all. "My whole family died in a tragic freak accident and my pony got cancer, and I was distracted". And then I might even tell them I'm sorry. No. Not really. Linus
