Tony said:If a person chooses to get their “kicks” by offending others, what does that say about a person?
N.B. that I said nothing about the kick coming from offending others.
The value of swear-words as expressions of strong emotion may come partly from their being socially taboo, but (for example) if I burn myself on a hot pan and say "fuck!" while in my flat on my own, that has nothing to do with "offending others". Nor am I "getting my kicks" out of it.
And if a person chooses to repeatedly come into the thread with a swear-word in the title in order to be offended that it contains swearing, what does that say about them?
