    Why are you dreaming about my ass? This is disturbing. Have you had these fantasies long?

    Yes, you are right. But I was talking about the word cunt so I had to use the word cunt. I will never use the word cunt as a curse.

    It is just so derogatory and cuts right down to the primal core. Worse word any one can use.
    :eek:

    His day is coming, just like Nixon's day came and just like Cheney's best friend Ken Lay's day came!

    No, we just need not to act like neanderthalic morons. Do you post racial epithets as a matter of course?

    I would suggest the following rule: if you would feel like a dumbass for saying something like this in front of someone who might take offense; or, would feel like you might have your ass handed to you in a sling, then consider this: those same people might be reading the same forum you are posting to - and hiding behind the relative anonymity of the web is utter gutlessness.

    I'll bring up the story (again). While a bartender at Fado (know this one, doncha Rob?), an idiot college boy out on a bender throwing crap my way the entire shift - trying to impress his pals. Utter disrespect. I took it for about 5 hours, and finally, to my weakness, did what no bartender is supposed to do. I came around the bar, simply leaned into his ear, and said:

    "doesn't feel so safe from this side of the bar, does it?" His friends prudently took him away and out.

    So, I try to adopt the same philosophy on the web - anything I wouldn't want to say in person, I don't want to say here. Not preaching, just my view. I just don't think it's the right thing to do.

    As a neandrathol, this comment offends me.

    I appreciate what you are saying and I my previous response was in jest but here in the UK the C word is pretty common.

    Off topic, so I won't belabor this any further after this - I understand what you're saying, Mix.

    Do UK women feel the same way?

    Additionally, if accepted there, it isn't accepted everywhere. And this forum is "everywhere."

    I once won a web grand prize - my wife and I were flown to London, several days' stay, with the highlight being a multi-course dinner at the White Horse, with each course married to a select ale, and Michael Jackson, the Beer Writer, as host. I was a pro at the time (worked for Goose Island Brewing Company, Chicago), and was obviously keyed to spend an evening with the man. It went almost immediately South when I mentioned something about "UK brewing." He wasn't pissed about the assessment of UK Brewing - in fact, he was more keyed about American brewing than I was - he was pissed about my use of "the UK." He said "there is no UK," implying I was a fascist for using the term. So went the evening, more or less.

    Now, I innocently used the term and had no political charge in doing so. But it sure pissed the man off. PC? perhaps, maybe, yes. But it also further taught me the power of words. I abhor PC 15-hyphen appellations as much as anyone, for example, but I do think that there are some things so vile to some people that I find it better to simply choose another way to go about my discourse.
