The statements are similar, but not equivalent. There is a difference. "Fuck" can indicate enthusiasm or contempt or displeasure or what-have-you, but it's an intensifier. It should serve a purpose, you don't just chuck it in there for kicks.
The consensus is clearly that profanity isn't a big deal, but in a medium shorn of voice or body language, style matters. |

i've on occasion wondered about this...
Since i write more or less like i speak, and my freinds are conspicuously foul mouthed, i re-read posts i've written and realise i have used swear words where i wouldn't necessarily have expected. However, no one has ever complained to me, or asked me to tone it down, even when i asked the direct question... ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hyperbole is, without a shadow of doubt, the single greatest thing in the universe! |
