The f word is considered highly offensive in some cultures. Granted its use is
now far more spread than it used to be, but it seems interesting to me that you
of all people use a word which I personally would never use at all, much less
in front of a woman. Sounds like a contradiction to me, especially when you use
it while arguing for a more civil discussion.

Do you think you need to use that word to make a point ? If so, why do you want
to take that right away from others ?
