Therefore, either say nothing and be content in the knowledge that you've pleased people by not being vulgar[1], or fuck all that and say whatever kind of shit you want with no fucking regard to whether or not you've pissed off those pansy-ass mother fuckers. Greg, goddammit. [1] Naturally, since any given thing is vulgar, silence is of course a vulgarity as well. Ever hear the expression "you can please some of the people some of the time..."? -- Gregory S.
