When you blog, do you write in the way that you speak? If you use profanity to make a point in speech, would you do the same thing in your blogs? If not, why not? What prevents you? Why wouldn't you?
F*ing and Blinding

The other side of the coin is what would you say if you were among co-workers, friends, or family (your Mother or Grandmother) - small children or nuns who you knew would be offended by the language. Do you say it anyway (maybe rarely), or control it? You need to consider your audience. If you're out with your buddies, that's another thing - let fly.
In a work environment I regularly had to modify my speech according to who was there - all gals. There were 2 who cussed like lumberjacks, and another who talked like a 900# sex-line operator, but also several who were highly offended by such talk. I never had a problem with bad language, but it did bother me when someone else in the room was offended by a 3rd party - I respected their views.
