It is not words
FrankC — (archived)

I doubt the "words" in your original flame would have upset anyone that much. It was the way that you put them together that was far more humiliating and hurtful to others than it was to Ed. What you posted would probably be okay on a board with different people and values. It was definitely over the line for this company.

Sometimes what one says, says more about the sayer than they should want to reveal. If you must insult someone try to do it in a way that doesn't insult the world. If you call someone a dickhead and accuse them of losing their virginity to their mother in an outhouse (actually said about Jerry Falwell by one of his enemies), others may think you went too far but they are less likely to feel like you are attacking them.

Try to be careful about collateral damage.

I hate political correctness for the extreme way it has become expected by certain groups but common decency should a no brainer.
