Fitz, most of us need to swear, for fck's sake. But you were a teacher - you know that freedom of speech is a lie. Not for censorship, but for community. Here in the UK, the C word (I mean ****, not community
) is like a friendly greeting, and one that my H and I use regularly for each other. In America I know that for a lot of people it's practically seen as the mark of the beast. I don't want someone sweet and innocent like ZenCat to come on to my posts and get all upset, so SR makes sure he's not going to.
Shared language. Don't take it personally. You need this place.
