I know little or nothing about the Xpirex Affair, but this is an open thread with a question, so I thought I'd put in a rather insubstantial two-pennies worth. 1 - If we lived in a society where one can't insult another without fear of a lawsuit, then traffic wardens would be taking up all the court's time with petty suits. 2 - What is freedom of speech all about if I can't use an offensive word once in a while, whether in reference to some racial/political extreme (though, being white, I am the least likely to get away with this) or to stress an expession? 3 - I find that swearing in another language can be quite refreshing - especially when bantering with a foreigner. Not much point in calling a Frenchman a "f***ing dickless a**hole" if he has no idea what you are saying, eh? But, regardless, I never throw petty insults at people for no reason (especially in writing), and I don't see what can be achieved by doing so indiscriminately. I certainly wouldn't call someone a whore unless it was either in friendly jest (my brother is a tart and he knows it), or if it was a claim I could back up with witness statements, personal observations, or substantial evidence. I might call them a bitch, but that's only if I'm feeling bitchy. Anyway, one way or the other, I live by this rule: Never say anything about anyone you don't mean, and that you wouldn't say directly to their face... ...unless it's some mouthy git on a gameserver, spoiling everyone's fun - in which case, [i]have at them![/i]
