There is a difference between having a conversation with a known friend and
talking to a group. While a friend might not be offended by foul language,
any number of people in a group may be very offended. I don't, as a rule, use
foul language, but I'm especially careful to chose my words with care when
addressing a classroom, meeting, or other group assembly. An internet list is
essentially the same as a group assembly and I believe we should be careful
about how we express ourselves when addressing this group.
