111. Sometimes I give curse words a second thought and I don't
use them. But, like you, when I am angry and I post immediately, I post as if I were talking to a friend. I am in the moment and though I do think about the use of socially questionable language, it's usually a passing thought.

Free expression is important, though it can get rough around the edges. My take is that if someone cannot deal with foul language or bad words, they have the option to move on. Those who are offended by this language must remember that they are just as entitled to free expression as those who offend them.

As for your ban in subject lines, I have to respectfully disagree, though I would join you in urging restraint with their use in the subject line.
