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:

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:
