Complaints about anger, profanity, and offensiveness typically come from those who can't compete. It's interesting how rarely there's an argument provided when I make one of my angry, profane, and offensive comments, outside of sniveling about my anger, my profanity, and my offensiveness.

finn's virgin ears are bleeding...
I very much like Lenny Bruce and George Carlin, but you, sir, are neither (by a long shot). I can compete in a match of wits with pretty much anybody, including those who use profanity, anger or humor. You use both profanity and anger, but fail to employ humor.

I spent a 38 year career that involved routine high stakes negotiations with all types of folks who used every tactic under the sun. What was true then is still true now. Those who resort to anger, profanity and other boorish theatrics when discussing serious matters do so when they don't have the facts on their side. This applies in spades to you. Rather than whining like a butt hurt old codger every time one your unfounded assertions is challenged, you should be grateful that someone is willing to share a few facts with you that you don't already know. You're never too old to learn something new (though your behavior challenges this adage).
