I don’t disagree. I have had a hard time from ignorant people with little or no respect for others myself. I don’t like what they said – even to the point of suing one when I find out his identity but I still support their right to participate and say what they wish, as wrong and offensive as it may be.
It is their responsibility alone to decide if they are willing to accept the consequences of what they say… Not you or anyone else. If Voivod wants to write a post with profanities in it, it needs to decide for itself if the consequences of doing that (reduced audience due to killfiles, perhaps) are acceptable to it.
Let me tell you that voivod telling me or you something and using profanities to reinforce it’s effect is mild compared to someone posting lies and defamation about you, your family and your business whilst hiding their identity to do it or worse, impersonating someone else.
This is not signalling my acceptance of bad behaviour. Voivod is appallingly bad. I support everyone’s right to do that should they choose to. You may have noticed that not a lot of people have decided to copy Voivod’s style? Obviously it’s appeal is only to Voivod. How much water can you pour into a one litre bottle before it outlives it’s usefulness? Same with Voivod… Eventually it’s audience will be so small, it will discover profanity has a limited effect.
