When posting, it is best to imagine you are talking to a human being, a real live sack of cells with an identity, a personality, even a soul if you're inclined that way. Consider how your words would come across to a total stranger, how they would come across to a mate, and how they would come across to your mother. If you would shy away from using certain phraseology in any of those cases, it may be worthwhile to shy away from them when posting online. If, on the other hand, you feel perfectly fine calling your mother "a pathetic low life" who has "crawled out from under rocks", then I would recommend stopping posting all together and going home and working on repairing your relationship with your mother.
Why does any of this matter? Words are important. Words can hurt. Words can kill. But most often, sloppily chosen words just reflect poorly on he who uttered them.
Didn't you post some shit proposing the question " Does using the bum gun make you a homosexual"?-----Yeah, that was you.
