Must be something in the water.

Of late there have been several posts in which the fine Christian folks on Jude2 have used language intentionally intended to skirt as close to cussin' as possible without getting banned, and it is getting on my last nerve.

Please stop it. Profanity is the last refuge of tiny intellects, and pseudo-profanity is simply juvenile and really stupid.

Mods and Admins will be sending more nonsense into the Vault, as far as the east is from the west.

Could you or one of the mods change the Daschle title please?

Thanks,

Take a stand for righteousness, PG. Thank-you, thank-you. I appreciate that, very much.

righteousness?
or Holiness?
or line of morality, perhaps?
or just plain sensible. :)

Gentility

How about plain old gracious gentility and civilized behavior. I am 58 years old and a Vietnam vet, so it's not like I have never heard just about every kind of language that could be used. I have had members sit across my desk in counseling sessions and say words that almost peeled the paint off my walls. I've had more than one preacher cuss in my office.

I still maintain that public discourse is best when not coarsened by street language, and that educated, Godly followers of Jesus should not delight in seeing how close to the unrepentant they can appear.

Brother Gary,

What did you do in Nam? What was your MOS? I didn't know you were a Viet Nam Vet. You are full of surprises.

It has been my experience that; "If you have to ask, it probably does!"

Don't get too excited... my MOS was 02M20: Percussion Instrumentalist. I was in the 266th Army Band at Long Binh.

Yes. A drum is a great noisemaker that can be used to walk in mortar rounds from a nearby mountain.
