I'm not exactly Mr. Manners but I have a very uptight view of basic etiquette. I'm a young guy and I view many older people who look like they haven't learned basic table manners or social etiquette. Should I just look down upon them because they are ignorant? I'm happy you pointed that fact out to them because it's important to be aware of the effect cussing causes your view on others, it makes you sound dumb and ignorant but should you be so quick to pass on judgement and degrade someone in your own eyes without understanding where they are coming from?

frankly, i was neither passing judgement nor attempting to degrade him.

i was politely voicing my own offense at his comment 'fuck that guy'
and also to point out that when you resort to foul language, you rob
your argument of power and only succeed in making yourself look bad.
