[QUOTE="Locutus, post: 69218100, member: 353469"] I guess a lot depends one who decides what's respectable. I take the position that respect outside of that which I'd offer to any random stranger must be earned. Also, I don't view profanity as disrespectful. Obviously, I'd make a very poor moderator! The upshot is that I agree with you. Being offended is for children (including when I indulge it). It's a 'pout'. I don't like to see it encouraged or enabled in adults. An example is older people who take refuge in delicate sensibilities. It's really a retirement from thought. An abdication of active engagement with human culture and society. "It's all too hard so I'll retreat to the default setting, established when I was 8 years old". I love meeting elder folk who are genuinely mature - well beyond righteous indignation and offense. They're wise and funny and retain all their faculties - because they keep using their faculties! [/QUOTE]
