Let me help with some grammar issues bud: I understand that most people think it's not really a serious thing to overuse strong language. And I might have to agree with that.

While I appreciate your personal opinion and morality, I think you have tried too hard to express why you choose to not curse and unintentionally left lengthy messages that seemingly adopted a condescending tone. My suggestion for you the next time something like this occurs is to simply say something like, "I personally don't like or condone cursing" and leave it at that. Good luck. Thanks for the pointers. I agree with most of the corrections you made, with he exception of the second. I think "too" is used when something is too much, too long, some type of excess. Alternativly, you use it in order to identify with something else. Ex: I'd like an icecream too.

You make a fair point. I see in hind sight that the message I used was over much. That said, I have had rather negative reactions in the past when I simply say "I don't condone cursing." Most often, all I get in reply to a message like that is a string of more curses.

Again, with the advantage of hind sight, I realized that the Wikia system, or at least that part of it with good repute, is not likely to give me such a response.

TL;DR Good point. Thanks.
