I really didn’t mean to offend anyone with my statement. Also, I was not necessarily referencing anyone on this board when I made that statement.
I do not use profanity or vulgarity in my personal life and it is a rare occasion that I will use it in my writing.
Like everyone else, I have been exposed to that kind of language, believe me, after spending 20 years in the military, I’ve heard it all. Fortunately it has not transferred over to my personal life.
My problem is with those individuals, let me reiterate, not necessarily on this board, that use it for shock effect or even gratuitously.
If you are establishing a character, and it puts that character in a certain light, that is an entirely different story. Disreputable characters will use slang, swear words and vulgarities. I would just hope that it would see limited usage here on this board.
