Sorry you have to deal with it. It’s generally a good place with a lot of knowledge.
This is why we can't have nice things

Many moons ago, a guy named Oscar made me a forum moderator. Man that was fun. I had real talent at getting people really mad at each other. It didn't take long before my privileges were revoked for the abuse of power.

Trying to think of all the combinations which could trip me up:
Made a long list which I deleted cuz my set withdrew.

Sometimes I open my mouth and words fall out. I think to myself "Damn that sounded like me!" My vocabulary isn't the greatest at times but using the written word I have used abbreviations for emphasis. The last thing I want is to be sent down the road or even worse have the forum cease to exist because I was that last straw. Lastly, I would never want to unintentionally post something that offended anyone.

Before grandchildren I spoke spontaneous construction fluently....since, I admonish my own kids for cursing around theirs.
Drives me nuts to hear the crude crap I taught em...

Disagreement with “whomever”? Sure
Escalation into a full on typing argument? Comical
Having an adult have to step and send someone to their room? Embarrassing
I’m sure M&M Finn have MUCH better things to do with their lives

Yup I learned to speak logger at a VERY early age. That being said, I rarely resulted to writing it out

I’m just glad the first time my oldest said sh!t it was right after my wife slipped and said it.
Multiple generations of agriculture, hard rock mining, railroads, and construction all falling on my boys and their impressionable vocabularies. And a knuckle dragger dad to boot…

“A modicum of respectability, gentlemen” seems to be a mutually agreeable expectation we all have.
It’s the definition of “gentleman” and “respectability” that seems to be in flux at times among participants with different perspectives.

What's really eye opening to me, I expect course language while working in the field and used to (wrongly) believe it wasn't the same in office settings.
I was dead wrong about that...wow.
I wouldn't beat yourself up over the construction talk, they're going to hear it one way or the other.
