Straw man (no one here has said he "enjoys" cheap language,
merely that some of us use it and are not offended by others
using it) and false dichotomy (I would submit that eliminating
the "cheap" from your language reduces your creative palette,
rather than increasing it as you imply.) I never did debate
team so I don't know how else to respond but to point out the
fallacies.

No, that's an entire stand-up routine in print form. You and I
would both skip that post if it showed up on LAU in reference to
some creative work, I'd bet, let alone in place of an offhand
comment about someone stuck in a self-described creative dry
spell.

So do we have moderators here anymore or what? We're up to like
300 posts on this off-topic thread and its spawn.
