I'm curious. Why though? What does it get you when you call people names or have this kind of attitude? Does it feel good or something?

Mate, you're the one trying to enforce some prudish seppo standards about language etiquette onto others. Why would I do anything but not consider that a miserable existence, and thus call it out?

"Enforce" implies I am coercing you to be a bit more friendly online. I am merely suggesting it for future interactions, and maybe we can start to do something together about the subject of the video that was posted here and make the Internet just a bit more tolerable for all.

Mate, you saw the word 'fucking' and somehow took it as a personal attack. This has nothing to do with being friendly, it's about your personal shortcoming.

And frankly the Internet is in a good state right now in regards to waking up to corporate control. Socially it's exactly the same, you've got a diverse range of people all over the world. So no? I'm happy with the trajectory and I certainly don't want it changed towards the viewpoint of someone who thinks 'fuck' is the end of the world.

I have no issue with the word "fuck". I'll say it all goddamn day long. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.

I have issues when it's directed at people that didn't deserve it. That's all. Basic grade school shit that everybody learns. You've already called me a "cunt" twice while I have not insulted you in any way. This is not about the word itself.

They could be a terrible misanthropic human being who uses attacking language to hurt people before they can hurt them.

Or they could just be Australian
