those are funny. Mr. Green

I don't use foul language when there is anyone around to hear might.

I might when there is no one around, though.

We just add "no offense" to the end of all our insults. That erases all liability automatically.

"Are you a f'ing idiot? That's the dumbest idea I've ever heard!! No offense."

When a claimant (or potential claimant) uses profanity to go after a claims taker, the profanity/-ies can be entered into the record so far as quoting the claimant is concerned. No (expletive), no ----, the whole word or words go into the record. And there's nothing mangement can do about it. Mr. Green
