Two months or so ago I received a message from the IPFW Students and Alumni LinkedIn Group telling me that they had gotten many criticisms concerning my use of cursing in my blog posts and to not send them anymore. Frankly, it was the best laugh I had all day. Here is a group that supposedly represents a school of higher learning where those attending are being taught to think for themselves, but some of the readers of a blog about a person who is fighting her own personal battle with lung cancer that contains curse words is offensive. At the time I received this message I think I had just gone through my first chemo treatment and I can assure you that every one of those curse words were appropriate. I have not sent any posts to this sterling group since but have dedicated several posts and photos to them. Yes, I did say I had not sent any posts to them since them- until now.
Curse on! Words are a form of expression- All Words. Are they banning freedom of expression? The Bastards
