Blog language

Blog language has been brought up on about 4 or 5 blogs I regularly read, especially as it relates to the lef-right divide. Personally, I judge a blog based partly on the language it uses. Excessive blog cursing is indicative of a lack of intellectual discipline and symptomatic of a writer that allows emotion to short circuit reasoned thought. I'm no angel myself when it comes to cursing, and I'm definitely not offended by it, but when a writer uses it excessively, it always seems that individual's argument has come dislodged from the bedrock of reason.
