So, I've gone and I've read...and re-read...what TheLastCandle posted, and the funny thing is...I can't seem to find anywhere in the post where he said, "it doesn't belong." Â He said he personally finds it tacky (which is totally cool - peeps are entitled to their opinion). Â He said that he finds the way NPCs string together cuss words (real or make-believe) to be more interesting (which, again, is totally cool - peeps are entitled to their opinion). Â And he said that he subconsciously judges a character's intelligence by how much they're dropping the f-bomb (again - peeps be entitled to their opinion), which he finds kind of ironic and maybe hypocritcal considering his propensity to cuss like the scurviest pirate when he's among friends.
But you know what's not in his post? Â Any suggestion that cussing doesn't belong, and any suggestion that he (TheLastCandle) has any right to tell anyone else how to play their character.
Crazy, I know.

What's a weird thing? Â To have an opinion about characters? Â Because, I hate to tell you, but opinions are like assholes, and everyone has one about everyone else's characters, and the players behind them. Â All the time. Â Every time. Â Because we're opinionated shits.
I guess I'm just not getting why you jumped on TheLastCandle for something he never said. Â
I didn't jump him that was to the thread in general in which people have repeatedly said it didn't belong? Or that they felt it didn't belong, and the thing about the opinion is that's fine, have it, but the statement of judging a character's intelligence based on how much they curse is silly -- strangely enough, and this is apparently one of those things that you want to beat into my head so I'll just refer you back to your comment on opinions.
You can have one, and someone's can differ, and they're allowed to say so.
That being said, the only one I think being jumped on here is me, by you. This post felt aggressive; I meant no aggression towards TheLastCandle and I more or less told him I didn't think he was being an ass and I wasn't at all trying to be an ass to him, but... that's the internet for you, hard to understand tone through text.
And if you'll reread the part you quoted I did say 'you gotta do you' which means I understand opinions but you feel free to come with a vengeance again, I really don't mind, opinionated people are neat.
ETA: My post saying: Not sure how I feel about the idea that if you curse you're ignorant is, as it does come up in my roleplay often enough and my personal life, but moving on from that little bit...
The bold is where I moved on from addressing that specific point and to the topic at hand, for clarification.
