This would have been a great comment without the word "bullshit", which made the whole thing read needlessly venomous.

Re-reading this a couple hours later, I agree. I responded to needless negativity with more needless negativity. Guess my IRC habits have been leaking into my other hobbies. I'd edit it, but it's been too long since it was posted.

I'm sure I bring that habit here way way more than you do! Thanks for being cool about it.

There's no need to apologise for using the word bullshit. It's bullshit that we have to be PC about words we use.

This is nothing to do with political correctness. The word "bullshit" is perfectly fine; it's the way it was used here.

Maybe he's calling a spade a spade but, if so, your comment is off base, too.
