Re: (expletive deleted)
Here at EvC, for example, we judge people by how well they express themselves in debate. Use of salty vernacular has an impact on how others in this community will view the efficacy of your ideas and will thus gauge your intellect. Inappropriate or not, fair or not, this is the way it is.
actually. here at evc, we tend to judge people on whether they're irrational cunts or educated assholes or some combination of the two. we are at least supposed to judge people based on the sense made in their posts and not the way the sense is expressed in language, font, sparklies, or otherwise.
also, judging intellect by language is like judging goodness by how much someone drinks. how many monkeys does it take to type a cuss-free evc post?
