Never forget that HUMANS decided, with their own tiny little warped minds,
to put a charge on the word f@-----. That word certainly does not hurt
my feelings or my compassion for humans in general. It does not even rattle
my cage. BTW, it originated from a Dutch word "vokken" which was/is used in
animal husbandry, breeding farms. So what??. Who are you to stand in
judgment what is "wrong" and what not? In fact, the way Tony used that word
expressed better what he wanted to get across than any other word would
have. Who cares about Thesaurus? If someone uses THAT word, (here or
anywhere), its still YOU that decide that you want to put a charge on it the
way you do. G-d is too busy to stand in judgment of trivial little words
like the F-word.

Let Tony be. Give the man break
