I like the F-bomb as much as the next guy, but lately I'm noticed a rise in the number of four-letter (or in some cases, eight-letter) words on Kos. I would hypothesize this has to do with the loss of the election, and various fringe elements trying to shout each other down and take the party (or the community) in the direction they think is best. But I wonder if this coarsening of the discourse isn't counterproductive. Not only does it set us against one another, but it also could alienate potential converts to the cause, and is fodder for rightwing blogs who portray Democrats as a bunch of God-hating anarchist sex fiends. Has anyone else noticed this trend? Am I imagining it? Am I being a prude?
