It's so obvious, I just don't get it.

You wonder why this board mocks you yet you say friggin instead of fuckin.

In my line of work I've learned a lot about communications and messaging. The bottom line is that you lose part of your audience when you swear. A certain percentage of people focus on the curse words, and not the point you're making. Think about it. A politician could make a powerful speech supporting or opposing a certain policy, but if they curse many people would focus on the cursing. That is why I "voted up" when people suggested reducing the amount of curse words on firecoachsark.com

On this website people (including you) constantly make points about how this coach has underperformed in recruiting, on the field, and elsewhere. A strong point will reach fewer people if swearing is included. It's a proven fact.

I curse - frequently. But not when I'm trying to make a point in a public forum. Why? Because my point will resonate with fewer people.

Gas, match, fire, celebrate....

 
If people are sick of Doogman, but don't like the swearing over here...then they can start their own website.

This place is what it is. We've embraced what we are. If they don't like us and can't see through the curse words to understand the points we're making, then they can go fuck off.

God you must suck to hang out with in real life. A lot
 
I don't get how grown men have a problem with swearing. Do they watch Disney movies instead of ones rated R? Watch network cable over HBO/Showtime? I get it how some people are annoying because they swear every other word, but a little bit here and there, who cares? On the other hand, I don't give a fuck if someone chooses not to swear. It's their prerogative.

Your wife disagrees.

Maybe I wasn't clear. I don't have a problem with swearing. It's a normal part of my conversations with friends and coworkers.

My point is that an argument is less effective when somebody swears. The curse words become the focal point for FAR too many people, and the facts/points you're making gets lost. It's like if a guy giving a speech has a booger in his nose. The booger gets picked up by the media and the average dumbass observer with a short attention span will only remember the booger, not the person's speech.
