I’m trying to blame her? Sorry, just pointing out the absurdity of language police and their need to be unoffended, my word. Sometimes, Jeff, the gratuitous obscenity is the easiest, shortest distance to a point. I wasn’t trying to beat up on her, and if that’s the way it appears, for that I am sorry.

Alan, your response was in bad faith. She didn't say anything about your language being worse than other stuff going on in the world. Yet you put words in her mouth implying just that when saying this is what she chose to get offended over. Her commenting on decorum does not mean she approves of evil.

This is a tried and true tactic of manipulators. They use this to stifle speech and control others by inducing guilt. The implication being that one is not allowed to criticize anything when there's other stuff going on. Look around, it's everywhere.

Thanks for your response and I appreciate your candor and I apologize myself as my response to you was too harsh.
