This place is supposed to be a place where people can feel free to express themselves without hurting others so I understand Bob's point of view. But this place SHOULD be a site where all of us, especially Bob, is tolerant of someone who needs to vent their anger at themselves, show self-doubt, desribe their depression, whatever, in a candid, spontaneous way. All of us, no matter how sensitive to vulgar language, should overlook an individual who is self-depreciating and needs to offend themself in front of us all. Obviously the word should not be used to describe another person (with the exception of gg's ex-fiance, of course).
Not saying anything that hasn't already been said but giving my vote for greater tolerance.
