at the risk of conjuring up an old chestnut, let me appeal to common sense, good taste and decency with respect to putting words like "fuck" in a diary title. look, it's not that i have some virgin mouth or prudish nature. i've cursed up many a storm...it's more that there's a time and place for everything. and a big, bolded "fuck" across my computer screen when i click on a story or have the top diaries in bold on the sidebar and lots of "fuck (so and so)" blaring in bold orange...well, that's not the time nor place.
why? after the jump...
well, people don't just read the site by their adult selves in the comfort and privacy of their own homes. people read kos on public machines, or at home with kids, or maybe at work where web surfing is tolerated. or maybe it's a high school (or college) civics/poli sci teacher trying to do a lesson on the changing nature of participatory democracy. this may be what gets kos filtered out from work networks or on public library or school netowrks.
so it's not a matter of prudishness, it's a matter of keeping in mind that your audience might just be broader than your own demographic and might have different sensibilities or a different context for reading.
