And it could be argued that certain words are not necessary to convey feeling, they are only needed by minds too limited to be creative without being vulgar. Before you think I'm talking down to anybody, I also have the same problem in my own life. It's only in my writing that I manage to contain myself.
That said, the bottom line is: Neal's house, Neal's rules. Follow them or don't; your choice.

Actually studies have shown that cuss words do have a medical release effect over plain words. Drop a bucket on your toe, say dern, you'll have more pain than if you let go with some good cussing.
I'm with Duci as far as my personal life, I hold no value towards word except how they're used............but yes, I do get the rules, if I didn't I would call you more names than I do.
