A comment like that isn't going to make or break things with me. I have some greatest hits out there myself when it comes to language. My own view is time place, and manner.

While I try not to use the word F--k in public, is it all that much difference than my Bob Knight quote I used on my blog regarding Rove the other day. I used the word "bleeped" but we all know what the word is. I didn't spell it out. Was the intend any different?

Dick Cheney told Pat Leahy to go F himself on the senate floor. I've heard many politicians, staffers, and others use that word behind closed doors. It SHOULD stay behind closed doors, but this is politics and tempers often flare from mild agitation to Bob Knight style of rants.

I judge that tweet - if true - to be a stupid comment. I also realize that I'm voting for youth chair, not state rep, and not even county chair. Are the people Blake Edmonds needs to engage going to be highly offended by this one tweet to the point where he can't do his job? I doubt it.

The best guy I've worked with cussed like a sailor. Was I offended? Yes, but not by the word itself. What offended me was the fact that there was an unforeseen problem we had to solve. That's a lot worse than the word.
