Now, John, your use of common vulgarisms might make you appear to have a fixation on human excrement, and many find a scatological presentation offensive from their genteel manner and less shocking approach to messaging.

OTOH, no matter how twisted you may be, most of us wouldn't characterize you as an idiot. Failing to recognize severe emotional disturbance and confusing it with lack of intellectual talent serves to identify the domestic-large-mouthed moron quite nicely.

IOW, F*ck'em.
