off list ...
If it's not your nature to watch your language then I can understand how
difficult this could be for you. Funny though, you need to watch your
driving and probably appreciate it when others watch their driving when
they're around you.
It's not about watching your language because you're afraid you might
offend - thatıs a negative attitude - it's about watching your language
out of respect for others - a positive reason for that behavior.
... But we're not all your good friends or drinking buddies. This list
is a place where, just like you change your behavior a bit in front of a
judge, you should be more aware of your professionalism - if not for
yourself, then at least show us professional respect.
