I like to pride myself on the fact I don't use profanity and try not to put myself in situations where I need to use it which includes knowing people who act like it.Quote:

I pride myself in not giving too much power to a single word. Call me what you want, I won't get riled up over someone using a word to describe my actions. More or less I will look at myself and wonder why said person would feel that way towards me ;)Quote:

I've been called every possible name in the book over my 1/2 century or so. There was a time where words like that really got to me and I would react without giving it much though. Not any more. Like Billdo said, when and if I'm called a particular word, I wonder more why that person would say something like that to me. More often than not, I did or said something to prompt it. Not that its ok for them to call me a particular word, but if I have some culpability, I will definitely not react. The other thing is weight. A total stranger calling me a prick or worse, definitely means a whole lot less than a friend or someone I know calling me the same word. And again, if its someone I know, I'm more interested in why they said it vs what the actual word is.
Pretty much how I feel about the use of that word and similar words in general. I'm obviously not going to use those type of words in the general public but in front of the wife or close friends if I'm pissed they do a good job of emphasizing said displeasure. A little extreme from a moderator/business person towards his customers.Quote:

As far as this whole deal goes. WMC needs to grow some thicker skin. Your wife is part of a forum, is a big girl and should be able to defend herself on the internet. In person then it is a whole different story. Anyway, if you were that upset then you step away from the computer and never lose control. Remember if you are thinking with emotion then you really are not thinking.
As far as the **** word. It is just a word. If a women gets upset about that word then they must be one.
My wife and I think it is funny that people get so caught about it. We were watching a comedian and he did a bit about a movie. I think it was the sound of music.
In the movie there were two nuns and one nun says to the other " I just can't face it any more" then the other says 'What is it you can't face". Well the two have very thick English accents and it sounds like they are saying "****face" so the second nun sounds like she is say "what is it you ****face".
It was very funny the way the comedian did the bit and may not sound funny here. However, my wife and I laugh about it all of the time. Especially, it we are arguing and one of us will call the other a **** face and we both end up laughing.
My point in this long ass post is if you give power to a word then it will control you.
Do you use your same screen name on here as you do on other sites. :happy:Quote:

Actually I do. Mateo is what I go by on forums other than boating sites. ChumpChange was a boat name. Just like you though, we know what my name is elsewhere.Quote:

If I get banned from here. WMC better put "being a **** face" in the reason box. ;)Quote:
